Goodwife’s Honey Roasted Parsnips

A 1 cup serving hath about 130 calories

An entire cup of parsnips contain a mere 125 calories.   Parsnips may’st be very well enjoyed in stews, in soups or as a villager would’st enjoy mashed tatters. The centre of a parsnip is a bit woody & fibrous, so after cleaning simply peel then remove the centre or the will look like an ox chewing the cud.

1 Bunch of Parsnips From the Village Market

2 Tablespoons of No Calorie Butter Spray From the Fridge

1 Tablespoon of Raw Honey

Dash of Cinnamon

6 Packets of No Calorie Sweetener

Salt to the Personal Taste  

Wash, peel & remove the woody centres of the parsnips. Slice into rings, then add salt. Next, root out the roasting tin & place on top of stove. Pour butter into pan & allow to warm. Add parsnips & sizzle until browned on one side. Try not to disturb parsnips until one side is browned, but the will need to gently stir them about to deter burning so try to stir without flipping. When parsnips are golden, flip & brown opposite side.

Transfer to the roasting pan & sprinkle with cinnamon. Roast in the preheated 400 degree oven for about 15 – 20 minutes, or until tender. Stir every now & then. When almost done, remove & coat with the honey. Return to oven until done.
