This a Delia Smith recipe and one of the nicest ways to serve parsnips, baked crisp and golden brown in the oven with a parmesan coating. This recipe also works well with sweet potatoes. Can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance.
Ingredients
- 2.5lbs(1.25kg) parsnips shopping list
- 6oz (175g) plain flour shopping list
- 2oz(50g) freshly grated parmesan cheese shopping list
- salt and freshly milled black pepper shopping list
- groundnut oil also known as peanut oil shopping list
- a knob of butter shopping list
How to make it
- Pre heat the oven to gas mark 6, 400F(200C)
- Combine flour, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Peel parsnips then halve and quarter them lengthways and cut each length in half across so that you have smallish chunks. Cut out some of the tough woody centres.
- Boil parsnips in saucepan of salted boiling water (just enough to cover) for 3 minutes.
- Drain parsnips in colander and while still steaming drop a few at a time into the flour mixture, shaking the bowl to get an even coating.
- When they are coated they are ready to bake or store in the refrigerator or freeze.
- To bake them, place a large solid roasting tin in the oven to pre-heat and in it put enough groundnut oil just to cover the base and a knob of butter for flavour.
- Remove roasting tin when preheated and place it over direct heat (turned fairly low) and place parsnips side by side in the tin.
- Tilt the tin and baste all the parsnips with the hot fat.
- Place roasting tin in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, then turn them over, drain off any surplus fat and continue to bake for a further 15-20 minutes or until they are crisp and golden.
