Ingredients
5 total- 70 g of plain flour
- 50 g of parmesan, finely grated
- 30 g of fresh sage, stalks removed and leaves finely chopped (reserve about 8 whole leaves)
- 750 g of parsnips, peeled, cut into quarters lengthways and the woody stem sliced out
- 4 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, plus a little extra for frying
Method
4 stepsStep 1
Preheat oven to 180ºC/160ºC fan/gas 4. In a large, shallow bowl, mix together the flour, parmesan, chopped sage and some seasoning.
Step 2
Bring a large pan of water to the boil and parboil the parsnips for 5 mins. Drain, then toss them in the flour mixture, making sure all the parsnips are coated.
Step 3
Place the parsnips onto a large baking tray and drizzle with the olive oil. Cook in the oven for 25 mins until golden and slightly crunchy. You may need to turn them halfway through.
Step 4
To finish, shallow-fry the whole sage leaves in a little olive oil for 10 seconds, drain on some kitchen paper, then scatter over the cooked parsnips.
