Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds parsnips
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel and trim the parsnips, then cut them into evenly sized sticks or wedges for uniform cooking.
Place the cut parsnips in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the parsnips, ensuring they are well-coated.
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and thyme, then add to the bowl with the parsnips.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper over the parsnips.
Toss all the ingredients together in the bowl until the parsnips are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Spread the seasoned parsnips in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded for even roasting.
Roast 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 let them cool slightly before serving.
Adjust seasoning with additional sea salt and pepper to taste if necessary, then serve warm.
