How to Make Baked Parsnips Irish Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
  2. Peel and quarter approximately 1 lb (450g) of small parsnips. Boil in salted water for 15 minutes, ensuring they remain slightly firm (al dente).
  3. Drain the parsnips well.
  4. Transfer the parsnips to a large, oven-safe dish. Add 1 cup (240ml) of beef stock, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg.
  5. Gently toss to coat the parsnips evenly.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and nutmeg as needed.
  7. Dot the top with 2 tbsp of butter.
  8. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the parsnips are tender and slightly caramelized, reducing the oven temperature to 120°C (250°F) after the first 15 minutes for even cooking.
