Tips:

  • Choose the right parsnips: Look for firm, smooth parsnips that are free of blemishes or bruises.
  • Peel the parsnips thinly: This will help the glaze adhere better.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the parsnips into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when roasting the parsnips: This will prevent them from steaming instead of roasting.
  • Roast the parsnips until they are tender when pierced with a fork: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Make the glaze while the parsnips are roasting: This will give the flavors time to meld.
  • Brush the glaze on the parsnips during the last few minutes of roasting: This will help to caramelize the glaze and give the parsnips a beautiful golden brown color.
  • Serve the parsnips hot: They are best enjoyed immediately out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Moscatel-glazed parsnips are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table.
