- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel 500 grams of parsnips and cut them into evenly sized sticks or wedges, about half an inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the parsnip sticks with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Toss everything together until the parsnips are well coated with oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned parsnips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the parsnips are golden brown and crispy on the edges, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
Garnish with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley before serving.
