Orange & maple roast parsnips

Ingredients 4 parsnips, 2 oranges, maple syrup

Serves: 4 Preparation: 1 hour

I adore parsnips - such a spicy, earthy flavour which caramelises perfectly when roasted. Glazing parsnips with orange juice and maple syrup brings out the natural sweetness and forms a fabulous sticky crust.

1) Rinse but do not peel the parsnips, then slice into chunks. Squeeze the juice from the oranges and pour over the parsnips. Drizzle with maple syrup and stir the parsnips until they are evenly coated

2) Roast in the oven for 45 minutes - 1 hour at 200 degrees until the insides are fluffy and soft and the outsides begin to crisp.
