Parsnip & parmesan filo fingers

Step by Step

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4, and line a baking tray with non-stick baking parchment. Peel and cut the parsnips into 8x1cm thick chips. Place on the prepared baking tray and toss with the olive oil and honey. Roast on a high shelf for 10 minutes until golden and tender, then set aside to cool. Line the baking tray with a clean sheet of non-stick baking parchment.

Step 2

Lay the sheets of filo on a large board and cut in half lengthways to give sheets approximately 20x30cm. Cut these into 4 rectangles, each about 10x15cm.

Step 3

Brush a rectangle of filo with melted butter and place a roasted parsnip at the end nearest to you. Springle over a little of the Parmigiano Reggiano and roll up quite tightly to give a neat parcel. Place on the lined baking tray and repeat with the remaining pastry and parsnips until they are all used up.

Step 4

Brush the tops of the filo fingers with melted butter and sprinkle with any remaining Parmigiano Reggiano. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 15 minutes, until golden and crisp.
