Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams parsnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Peel the parsnips and cut them into uniform sticks or wedges, approximately 1cm (1/2 inch) thick, so they cook evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cut parsnips to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned parsnips in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Roast the parsnips in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and tender.
Remove from the oven and transfer the roasted parsnips to a serving dish.
Garnish with fresh thyme if using and serve immediately.
