Heat to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Prep the Parsnips
Peel them, trim off any tough woody bits if needed, and slice into long, even wedges for consistent roasting.
Season
Place the parsnips onto the tray. Add extra virgin olive oil, melted butter, maple syrup, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat every piece — this is where the caramelisation begins.
Roast
Spread the parsnips out evenly (not touching) to ensure crispness. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown with sticky, caramelised edges.
Finish & Serve
Sprinkle with flaky salt and extra pepper. Serve immediately with your Christmas spread.
