Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 grams parsnips
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 4 whole garlic cloves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Peel the parsnips and cut them into evenly sized batons, approximately 2.5cm (1 inch) thick to ensure even cooking.
Place the parsnip pieces into a large mixing bowl.
Add the olive oil, sea salt, ground black pepper, and fresh thyme to the bowl with the parsnips.
Peel the garlic cloves and smash them with the flat side of a knife. Add them to the bowl with the parsnips.
Toss everything together until the parsnips are well coated in the seasoned oil.
Spread the parsnips in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the parsnips for 35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Turn the parsnips halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.
Once roasted, remove from the oven and serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
