Give your parsnips a bit of a jazzing up by using thyme and Prosecco. Prosecco is the ingredient of the moment and it's being used increasingly in cooking. It makes a really nice glaze and adds a nice little twist to a recipe like this one.

Whether you're making parsnips to accompany your Christmas lunch, or you're just cooking up a roast for family and friends, this is a really nice change to the standard parsnip recipe. Using both butter and olive oil is really indulgent and luxurious and helps give the parsnips that wonderful glaze whilst making them really soft inside.

You could even use a mix of parsnips and carrots, if you like. That will give this dish a bit more colour, and you can make the carrots and the parsnips at the same time in the same roasting tin. They go great with roast meat like chicken or turkey. If you wanted to make this recipe vegan, you can buy vegan Prosecco and leave out the butter in this recipe and simply use olive oil.
