Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the turnips and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even roasting.
Transfer the turnip cubes to a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the turnips, ensuring they are well-coated.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Toss the turnips thoroughly to evenly distribute the oil and spices.
Spread the seasoned turnip cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Halfway through roasting, use a spatula to turn the turnips for even browning.
Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
