Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium parsnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Peel the parsnips and use a mandoline slicer or sharp knife to slice them into very thin, even rounds (about 1/16 inch thick).
Place the parsnip slices in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and gently toss to coat evenly.
Finely chop the rosemary and thyme, then sprinkle them over the parsnip slices along with the sea salt and ground black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
Arrange the parsnip slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring that they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until the edges are golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as thinner slices may cook faster.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the crisps cool for about 5 minutes. They will become crispier as they cool.
Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer, and enjoy your homemade parsnip and herb crisps!
