Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds parsnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a little olive oil.
Wash and peel the parsnips. Cut them into even chunks or sticks, about 1/2 inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly.
In a large bowl, combine the cut parsnips, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss thoroughly until the parsnips are well coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned parsnips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for about 25-30 minutes or until the parsnips are golden brown and tender, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
Once cooked to your liking, remove the parsnips from the oven. Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the roasted parsnips warm as a healthy, low sodium side dish.
