Roasted Parmesan Parsnips

I never would have considered this combination in a thousand years. However when I tried Roasted Parmesan Parsnips, I became addicted. The nutty flavour of the parmesan cheese blends with the parsnips into a gorgeous side dish and snack. These is a side dish that I would make sure is on the table to accompany any roast meal. This recipe can be made in advance and kept in the fridge of even frozen as long as full defrosted  before cooking. If you don’t like parsnips, this recipe also works well with sweet potatoes and carrots.  However, I would not suggest making all three at the same time!!
