Ingredients for Manuka Honey Ginger Parsnip

• 1 lb. of parsnip, roughly 4 medium sized

• 3 tbsp. light olive oil
• 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
• Pinches of salt

Directions Manuka Honey Ginger Parsnip

1. Note: Butter is recommended over margarine merely for flavor purposes. If you have dairy related health concerns or simply wish to avoid butter, you can choose margarine or skip it all together.
2. Peel the parsnips and cut into baton-shaped pieces.
3. Place parsnip in a single layer in a baking pan.
4. Evenly distribute the Manuka honey, the butter, the oil, the ginger, and the salt over the cut parsnip.
5. Bake on 375°F covered for 40 minutes. Then, uncover, increase temperature to 400 degrees, and bake for another 10-20 minutes.
6. Note: You will want these parsnip slices well-cooked to get a crunchy, chewy, smoky taste, something best accomplished by not skimping on oven time. Doing so can result in improper flavor absorption and a less than desirable result.
7. Once you have finished baking, serve at your discretion and enjoy your Manuka Honey Ginger Parsnip!
