Preheat the oven to 180˚C fan/ 200˚C/356˚F convection/ 400˚F.
Peel and cut the ends off the parsnips, then cut them into quarters.
Cut the larger two quarters in half, so the pieces are roughly the same size
Place the parsnips on a roasting tray, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle over curry powder, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands to coat the parsnips evenly with oil and curry powder.
Place in the oven and roast for 40 minutes, turning halfway through.
Best served hot.
Notes
Parsnips - choose firm parsnips with no bruising. Try to avoid buying large parsnips, as these tend to have a woody core which can taste bitter.If you do have large parsnips, slice them into quarters and cut out the core before you roast them.Oil - I use vegetable, rapeseed or sunflower oil.Curry Powder - I use a mild curry powder to make this dish kid friendly, and just give a hint of spice.Make sure your parsnips aren't overlapping each other or crowding the tray, as this will cause them to steam rather than roast and become crispy.
