Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Heat the oil in a roasting tray. Cut the parsnips into chip-wide strips, then parboil them for five minutes and drain. Meanwhile, chop the pine nuts and add to the cheese and rosemary. Toss the parsnips in the cheese mixture and tip into the hot oil. Roast for 45 minutes.
