Roasted Parsnip and Pears

This is a great side that’s just a bit different to the regular side dish I know it sounds a bit strange but it works.

The pears and maple syrup or honey bring out the natural sweetness of the parsnips.

I love serving this side with roast pork or with pork fillets/medallions, but would pair well with any special dish.
