SUPER CRISPY CRUNCHY ROAST PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220C or 425F.
• Peel the parsnips and cut the ends off. Then cut lengthways down the middle, and again down the middle. This leaves you with 4 long pieces. Then cut the parsnips in half so you have 8 pieces per parsnip. They should look a bit like a finger of a fat chip/fry!
• Place in a saucepan with cold water and a pinch of salt, and bring to the boil.
• Keep an eye on the parsnips once the water starts to boil. After approximately 7 - 10 minutes drain the parsnips and set aside. (7 -10 minutes is from when the water starts to boil)
• Whilst the parsnips are in the saucepan cooking, place a baking pan with the oil in and leave until hot and sizzling.
• Then place the parsnips in the hot oil and spoon some of the oil over them. Cook for about 15 minutes, turning them over halfway through. If they are not golden and crispy like in the photo, leave them in for a little longer.
• When done, place on some kitchen paper then serve with your dinner. You may wish to sprinkle some salt and pepper

CRISP ROASTED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack on a lower-middle rung; heat the oven to 450°F. Cut the parsnips into matchsticks 2 inches long and a scant 1/2 inch thick, discarding any woody core. Dump the matchsticks onto a rimmed baking sheet large enough to fit them in a single layer. Sprinkle the olive oil, cayenne, and salt over all; toss to mix and coat well. Roast for 15 min., stirring once or twice. Sprinkle with the garlic, stir well, and continue roasting until the parsnips are well browned, about another 15 min. Let cool slightly, taste for salt, and serve.

CRISPIEST EVER ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. Add the oil to a large flameproof baking tray and put in the oven for the oil to heat up.
• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, tip in the potatoes and the peelings (to impart extra flavour) and simmer for 8-10 mins. Drain the potatoes and discard the peelings. Leave to steam-dry for 15 mins, then return the potatoes to the pan, put the lid on and gently shake to lightly rough up the edges.
• Remove the tray from the oven and put directly on your hob over a medium heat. Add the butter to the hot oil and, using tongs, add the potatoes to the tray, one by one, carefully turning them in the fat, and leaving a little space between them. Reduce the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Nestle the lemon thyme in amongst the potatoes, along with the garlic. Sprinkle over the sea salt and return to the oven to roast for 1 hr, turning every once in a while, until golden and crisp.
