Ingredients
- 500 g (17.5 oz ) parsnips approx 5-6
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt & pepper to season
Instructions
- If required, pre-heat your air fryer to 200˚C/400˚F
- Peel the parsnips and trim off both ends. Cut each parsnip in half crossways (this separates the thicker top from the thinner end). Slice the thicker top section lengthwise into quarters, so all pieces are roughly similar in thickness. Cut the thinner end into similar batons, around the size of thick-cut fries, to ensure even cooking.
- In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, honey and salt & pepper.
- Add the parsnips and toss until fully coated in the honey oil.
- Remove the crisper plate from the air fryer if you have one & place the parsnips in a single layer directly in the basket. (Cooking in batches if necessary)
- Cook for 14-18 minutes ( if you preheated your air fryer you may need to take a couple of minutes off the cooking time) until cooked through on the inside and crispy and golden on the outside., shaking the basket a couple of times whilst cooking.
- Best served immediately.
Notes
Lauren’s Tips
- Cut Evenly: So the parsnips cook evenly, try to cut them into similar-sized pieces. Keeping the batons the same size means the smaller pieces don’t burn while larger ones have time to cook through properly.
- Cook in Batches if Needed: Overcrowding the air fryer basket can lead to uneven cooking. If you’re making a large batch, cook in stages for the crispiest results.
- Don’t Skip the Shake: Give the basket a good shake halfway through cooking. This helps the parsnips crisp up evenly.
- Preheating: If your air fryer has a preheat function, bear in mind you might need to reduce the cooking time by a couple of minutes from what’s stated in the recipe.
- Keep Checking: Cooking times can vary depending on the size of your parsnips and your air fryer’s make and model. Start checking them at around 14 minutes to make sure they don’t overcook.
