Parsnips · common
Tender and True
Long, tapering, and with a sweetness that intensifies after frost. The name says it all — this one won't let you down, provided you give it deep, stone-free soil and a healthy dose of patience.
in the kitchen
Honey-roasted parsnips
Quarter lengthways, toss with honey, olive oil, and a grating of nutmeg. Roast until the edges are dark and caramelised. The Christmas dinner MVP.
