Cut them into even sized pieces works best I find. Blanche them in boiling water and shake dry.
I put them into the ashet ( think deep pie dish sort of shape tin) and shake them about a bit with salt, pepper, a wee bit of ground rosemary if you like it, and a drizzle of good oil. A friend says they're brilliant with some bacon fat instead of the oll though.
You can speed the roasting up by nuking them in the microwave for three or four minutes first.
It helps keep them from drying out too much, just do them hot in the oven thereafter.
Have a prod at them with a sharp knife every so often, make sure the cores are cooked.

No idea, but only on OOT can you seamlessly move from a thread on BDSM love harnesses to one on parsnips.....

Y'know how roast spuds are the better of being slightly battered about before roasting them ? Gives more crispy edges, sort of thing.
The blanching softens the outsides of the parsnips the same kind of way.

Saw this:
Boil parsnips until just tender. Take big teaspoon of miso paste and a generous glug of maple syrup and blend together. Put the parsnips in a large frying pan with a biggish pat of butter. Over a gentle heat, stir in the miso mix for a minute or so. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

This threads got me thinking about the tribe of vegan cannibals who only ate Swedes.

Parsnips are actually much sweeter once they've had a really cold snap.
Modern refrigeration helps
Seriously, I don't like parsnips (the gene thing again) but my husband likes parsnips so I learned to cook them.
They make really good crisps. M

There could be a connection.No idea, but only on OOT can you seamlessly move from a thread on BDSM love harnesses to one on parsnips.....
We just quarter them (sixths or eigths for bigger parsnips) along with some carrots, splash on some oil and make sure everything is coated then a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of rosemary then leave in the oven for about 40 minutes.
