Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams parsnips
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Peel the parsnips and cut them into even, medium-sized sticks, similar to thick-cut French fries.
Place the parsnip sticks into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over them.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder onto the parsnips. Add the fresh thyme leaves.
Using your hands, toss the parsnips thoroughly in the bowl, ensuring each piece is well coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned parsnips in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, turning once halfway through the cooking time, until the parsnips are golden brown and tender.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Serve hot as a delightful sugar-free side dish.
