Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized parsnips
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Peel the parsnips and cut them into equal-sized sticks, about 3-4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter and stir in the honey until well combined. Remove from heat.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss the parsnip sticks with the melted butter and honey mixture, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the parsnips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, flipping the parsnips halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
Step 7
Remove the parsnips from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired, for a fresh pop of color and flavor.
Step 8
Serve warm as a delicious side dish and enjoy!
