Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds parsnips
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the parsnips and cut them into uniform sticks, about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the parsnip sticks with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Toss the parsnips in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
Spread the parsnip sticks out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the tray and use a spatula to flip the parsnips for even browning.
Return the tray to the oven and continue to roast for an additional 15 minutes, or until the parsnips are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Once done, remove the parsnips from the oven and sprinkle with fresh thyme before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish to accompany your favorite meals.
