Ingredients
- 6 parsnips
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp marmite
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
Method
- Heat the oven to 160°C fan/gas 4. Trim the tops of the parsnips then give them a good scrub under running water. Cut them lengthways into quarters (or sixths if they’re particularly big) and put them on a baking tray. Mix the oil with the marmite to loosen it slightly, then massage the mixture onto the wedges as evenly as possible.
- Cook for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so as the marmite can catch and burn (although a little charring and blackening is a good thing). Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle over the poppy seeds.
