Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds parsnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Peel the parsnips and cut them into even-sized pieces, about 2 inches in length and 1/2-inch thick.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the parsnip pieces to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Arrange the parsnips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure there's space between the pieces to allow them to roast evenly.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 35 minutes, or until the parsnips are golden brown and tender, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
Step 7
Remove the roasted parsnips from the oven and sprinkle them with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
Step 8
Serve warm as a tasty and healthy side dish.
