Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Parsnips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the parsnips and trim the ends. Cut them into evenly sized sticks, approximately 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
Place the parsnip sticks in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, finely chopped fresh rosemary, finely chopped fresh thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the parsnips are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned parsnips on a large baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting.
Roast the parsnips in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and tender on the inside.
Remove the roasted parsnips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy them as a healthy snack.
