_INGREDIENTS:

4-5 parsnips depending on their size
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp dried thyme
Sprinkling of rosemary, chopped
25g Parmesan cheese, grated
1 Tbsp honey
25g Feta cheese
Salt and pepper to season

_{INSTRUCTIONS:}

Preheat oven to 180°C
Peel the parsnips.
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. When the water is boiling, place the parsnips into the water. Boil for 5-6 minutes until just slightly tender.
Drain parsnips and set aside for 5 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add the rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper and toss so the parsnips are nicely coated in oil and herbs.
Transfer the parsnips to baking tray and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven. Carefully use the bottom of a glass to press down on the parsnips to flatten them.
Sprinkle the smashed parsnips with grated parmesan cheese and place back into the oven for a further 20 minutes till golden brown and crispy.
To serve: Sprinkle on feta cheese and drizzle on the honey.
