Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized parsnips
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy clean-up.
Step 2
Peel the parsnips and slice them into thin sticks, resembling fries. Try to keep them uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Place the parsnip sticks in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Use your hands or a large spoon to toss until the parsnips are evenly coated.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and fresh thyme leaves. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the parsnips and toss again to coat.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned parsnip sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they have space to crisp up and are not overlapping.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the parsnips halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Step 7
Once the parsnips are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while they are still hot.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish or snack, and enjoy the crispy, flavorful goodness!
