Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I substitute parsnips with another vegetable?
A: Yes, you can use other root vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, or even turnips. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary slightly depending on the vegetable you choose.
Q: What can I use as a substitute for Greek yogurt in the drizzle?
A: You can use regular plain yogurt or a plant-based alternative like coconut or almond yogurt for a dairy-free option. If using a thinner yogurt, you may need to reduce the orange juice slightly to maintain the desired consistency.
Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can roast the parsnips up to a day in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to regain crispness. The yogurt drizzle can also be made ahead and refrigerated, but it’s best to add it just before serving.
Q: How can I prevent the honey from burning while roasting?
A: To avoid burning, make sure the honey is evenly mixed with the olive oil and other spices before coating the parsnips. Watch the parsnips closely in the last 5-10 minutes of roasting and flip them halfway through to prevent overly caramelized spots.
Q: What is the best way to store leftovers?
A: Store leftover parsnips and yogurt drizzle separately in the refrigerator. Place the parsnips in an airtight container and the drizzle in a sealed jar or small container. Reheat the parsnips in the oven or stovetop for best results. The yogurt drizzle can be served cold or brought to room temperature before using.
Q: Can I adjust the spices in the recipe?
A: Absolutely! You can adjust the spices to suit your preference. For a sweeter flavor, omit the cumin or paprika. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne. The yogurt drizzle can also be customized by adding a touch more orange zest or cardamom.
Q: What are some serving suggestions for this dish?
A: These honey-glazed parsnips pair beautifully with roasted chicken, lamb, or a hearty grain like quinoa. They also work well as part of a vegetarian spread with dishes like lentil salad, roasted cauliflower, or a warm couscous pilaf.
