In our home a roast dinner is a real feast. Made all the more special by trimmings, such as these honey glazed air fryer parsnips. I don’t always make extra special vegetables, and sometimes just serve what we’ve got in, but parsnips have to be one of my favourite ever air fryer vegetable recipes to enjoy with a roast dinner.

When cooking a roast dinner I’ve often got the oven full and so I like to use my air fryer for a few trimmings. Sometimes I make an entire air fryer roast dinner but usually I stick to things like air fryer roast potatoes, or Ninja Foodi roast potatoes, air fryer frozen yorkshire puddings and if I don’t want to make these I’ll make air fryer carrots and parsnips instead.

I love to make these parsnips, either plain, or with a honey glaze, and I’m sure you’ll find these a welcome addition to your roast dinner.

Ingredients for air fryer parsnips

500g parsnips

15ml olive oil (1 tablespoon of olive oil) 

3 crushed or chopped garlic cloves

Fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme 

Salt and pepper to season

30ml honey

Salt & pepper to taste

Method for making parsnips in the air fryer

Scrub your parsnips, peel if you prefer though you can skip this.

Heat a pan of water on the hob, with a little salt.

Place the parsnips in the boiling water and boil for 5-6 minutes. Drain well, leave in the colander to steam and then shake them to fluff them up a little.

Slice them lengthways into 4 or 6 pieces, depending on the size and length of parsnips.

Dress the parsnips with the oil, crushed garlic and thyme. I place them into a bowl so I can shake them around and fix well.

Cook at 160C (320F approx) for 10 minutes, shaking halfway.

Shake well.

Cook at 200C (390F approx) for 10 minutes, shaking halfway.

Season with salt and pepper – I typically use 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.

If you’re adding the honey then drizzle over 15ml of honey, shake well, and air fry at 200C (390F approx) for another 2 minutes.
