Ingredients
- 500 g carrots
- 500 g parsnips
- 15 ml 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
Instructions
- Heat a pan of water on the hob, with a little salt.
- Scrub your carrots and parsnips, and rinse well.
- Peel the parsnips and carrots if you like, but you can skip this step if you're not bothered.
- Slice them lengthways into 4 or 6 pieces, depending on the size and length of the parsnips and carrots.
- Place the carrots and 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.
- Dress the carrots and parsnips with the oil, garlic cloves and thyme. I like to use a large bowl for this so I can shake them around lots to ensure they are covered evenly.
- Air fry at 160C (320F approx) for 10 minutes, shaking halfway.
- Shake well.
- Air fry at 200C (390F approx) for 10 minutes, shaking halfway.
- Season with salt and pepper - I typically use ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon 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.
