Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a different vegetable instead of parsnips?
A: Yes, you can substitute parsnips with carrots, sweet potatoes, or even butternut squash. Just ensure you slice them into similar-sized batons for even cooking. The flavor may vary slightly as these vegetables have different levels of natural sweetness.
Q: What can I use if I don’t have apple cider?
A: If apple cider isn't available, you can use apple juice as an alternative. For a slightly tangier flavor, consider mixing apple juice with a tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
Q: Is there a substitute for panko breadcrumbs in the rosemary crumble?
A: If you don’t have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs, crushed crackers, or even finely chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for a crunchier texture and nutty flavor.
Q: How should I store leftovers and reheat them?
A: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking tray and warm in a 375°F (190°C) oven until heated through and the topping is crispy again, about 10 minutes.
Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can prepare the parsnips and rosemary crumble in advance. Roast the parsnips and prepare the cider glaze but don’t add the glaze or crumble topping until you're ready to finish cooking. When serving, glaze the parsnips, add the crumble, and roast for the additional time as directed.
Q: Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
A: Absolutely. Simply replace the butter in the rosemary crumble with a dairy-free alternative like olive oil or a plant-based butter. The flavor might differ slightly, but the crumble will still turn out crispy and delicious.
Q: What can I pair these cider-glazed parsnips with?
A: This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken, grilled pork chops, or a holiday turkey. For a vegetarian meal, serve it alongside a hearty grain like quinoa or wild rice and a green salad for balance.
