Parsnip And Rosemary Tarte Tatin

The savoury tarte tatin showcases golden parsnips on an oniony base with flavours of rosemary, balsamic and honey (or maple syrup).

This is a perfect make-ahead recipe and can be eaten hot or cold. 

Substitute:

  • No red onions? Use shallots or onions instead. 
  • No rosemary? Try with thyme. 
  • No parsnips? Swap for turnips or carrots. 

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 30 minutes

Total time: 45 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

3 Parsnips

3 Red onions

1 tbsp Rosemary (chopped)

1 ready rolled puff pastry / Vegan puff pastry

1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp Runny honey / Maple syrup

3 tbsp Unsalted butter / Vegan butter

Olive oil

1 tbsp Egg yolk / Plant based milk

Salt & pepper

Recipe:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C/160 fan/gas mark 4. Cut the parsnips right down the middle lengthwise, then add them to a medium-sized ovenproof frying pan, along with the butter.
  2. Cover the pan with a lid (or use a baking tray), and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side, until caramelised and golden. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp olive in another pan, and add the red onions and rosemary. Cook over medium heat until tender, then add the balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup) and 2 tbsp of water. Stir, then cook for 2-3 minutes, until sweet, a little sticky and deep in colour. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. 
  4. Top the parsnips with the red onions.
  5. Lay the puff pastry over the top, tucking it into the edges. Brush with the egg yolk (or plant-based milk).
  6. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the pastry is golden and crisp on top.
  7. Serve the tarte tatin upside down, hot out of the oven or cold. Enjoy!
