How to Make Glazed Parsnips

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and chop 1 lb parsnips into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Boil parsnips in salted water (about 1 quart water with 1 tsp salt) until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
  4. While parsnips are boiling, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 4 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup orange juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and sauce slightly thickens (about 5 minutes).
  5. Add the drained parsnips to the saucepan and toss gently to coat in the glaze.
  6. Transfer parsnips to a baking sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and caramelized, flipping halfway through.
