As a Christmas staple,\u00a0Jamie Oliver believes parsnips should be celebrated with additional ingredients that enhance the root vegetable’s unmatched flavours.<\/p>\n

The celebrity chef has explored different ways to do this in time for the festive period, offering a slight variation on the side dish on his website.<\/p>\n

In a recent clip, Oliver disclosed that he uses honey and a dash of vinegar to help the unique taste of parsnips shine through. His \u201csuper easy\u201d festive recipe can serve up to eight people and it is sure to make a lasting impression.<\/p>\n

The chef explained on his website: \u201cThe acidity of the vinegar cuts through the sweetness of the parsnips beautifully here. The combo of bay and honest adds a real festive feel. For the best results, don\u2019t peel them.”<\/p>\n

His simple recipe calls for five ingredients, followed by a simple-to-follow cooking method.<\/p>\n

    The recipe comes as Mary Berry, the beloved former Bake Off star, shared her preferred secret ingredient for extra script parsnips. The cook believes that the best way to ensure the roasted vegetables come out with a good crust on them is by adding semolina.<\/p>\n

    Berry is an avid gan of the ingredient and uses it generously on various roast vegetables. She suggests sprinkling semolina onto the root vegetables with a pinch of thyme for flavour.<\/p>\n
