Peanut buttered parsnips

Ingredients Parsnips, peanut butter (I like Whole Earth Foods).

Preparation: 1 hour

I adore parsnips - such a spicy, earthy flavour which caramelises perfectly when roasted. Peanuts with their salty, slightly bittersweetness bring out the natural sweetness of roast parsnip and give them an almost powdery, velvet crust.

1) Rinse but do not peel the parsnips, then slice into chunks. Smooth a thin layer of peanut butter onto each side of the parsnip with your fingers.

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.
