Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium parsnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the parsnips and slice them diagonally into even, 1/2-inch thick pieces to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and garlic powder.
Add the sliced parsnips to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the parsnips in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Use two sheets if necessary to space them properly.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, flip the parsnip slices to ensure even roasting, and return them to the oven.
Continue roasting for an additional 15 minutes, or until the parsnips are golden brown and fork-tender.
Remove from the oven and optionally sprinkle with a touch more fresh rosemary for garnish before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish to complement any main course, especially fine with roasted meats or a vegetarian main.
