Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound parsnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the parsnips and trim the ends. Cut them into uniform sticks or wedges, about half an inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Place the parsnip pieces in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
Sprinkle the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over the parsnips. Toss everything together to make sure the parsnips are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the parsnips out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this will help them roast properly instead of steaming.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. The parsnips should be golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a complement to your favorite Paleo protein or as a hearty vegetable side.
