Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium parsnips
- 4 medium carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Peel the parsnips and carrots. Cut them into evenly-sized dice, roughly 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) cubes, to ensure even cooking.
Place the diced parsnips and carrots into a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle in the garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the vegetables in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through, until they are golden and tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool slightly for a minute or two.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and added freshness.
Serve the parsnip and carrot dice warm as a side dish or light entrée.
