- Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Heat sugar in center of a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it starts to melt. Cook, tilting skillet occasionally so sugar melts evenly, until golden brown. Stir in butter, then add parsnips and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add vinegar, water, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until parsnips are just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove lid and simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to a glaze and parsnips are caramelized, about 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
PORK ROAST WITH CARAMELIZED PARSNIPS
Parsnips are narrow at one end and thick at the other. To cut uniform sticks (which will cook at the same rate), slice three inches from the tip of each, and then halve or quarter the thick end. As the pork cooks, it will release its juices into the skillet, flavoring the pieces.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coarsely grind 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the fennel seeds, orange zest, and chopped rosemary in a mini chopper or a spice grinder. Rub spice mixture all over pork, and insert rosemary sprig under twine. Transfer to a large, heavy ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) or a roasting pan.
- Roast pork for 20 minutes. Toss parsnips with oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt; arrange around pork. Roast for 20 minutes. Stir parsnips. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of pork reaches 140 degrees, about 15 minutes more. Transfer pork and parsnips to platter, and let pork rest for 10 minutes before untying and slicing. (If parsnips are not uniformly golden, return to oven for 5 minutes while pork rests.)

Steps:

Steps:
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Halve the parsnips, then cut the thicker end in two lengthways. Boil for 5 mins, then drain well and leave to steam-dry for a few mins. Meanwhile, pour the oil into a shallow roasting tin or a lipped baking tray and heat in the oven for 3 mins.
- Remove the tin from the oven and carefully add the parsnips to the hot oil. Turn them to coat, and make sure they aren't overcrowded (otherwise they won't crisp up). Roast for 30-35 mins or until golden and crisp, turning them halfway through the cooking time.
- About 10 mins before the parsnips are ready, tip the sugar and 2 tbsp water into a small frying pan. Heat very gently until the sugar has dissolved. Turn up the heat and bring the liquid to the boil. Measure 3½ tbsp cold water into a jug. Keep swirling the pan around until the sugar reaches a rich, dark-reddish caramel colour, then remove from the heat. Stand well back and add the water (it will splutter!). Return to the heat, add the butter and the salt, and stir to remove any lumps. The caramel should be runny, so add a splash more water if needed. Pile the parsnips into a serving dish, then drizzle over the salted caramel.

Tips:
- To get the best caramelized flavor, use large, evenly-sized parsnips and cook them over medium-low heat so that they have time to caramelize without burning.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you add too many parsnips at once, they will steam instead of caramelize.
- Be patient! It takes time for the parsnips to caramelize, so don't rush the process.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. The balsamic vinegar will add a rich, sweet flavor to the parsnips.
- Serve the parsnips immediately. They are best when they are hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Caramelized parsnips are a delicious and easy side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are also a great way to use up leftover parsnips. So next time you have a bunch of parsnips on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
