- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Peel the parsnips and slice them diagonally into even, 1/2-inch thick pieces to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and garlic powder.
Step 4
Add the sliced parsnips to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the oil and seasonings.
Step 5
Spread the parsnips in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Use two sheets if necessary to space them properly.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, flip the parsnip slices to ensure even roasting, and return them to the oven.
Step 8
Continue roasting for an additional 15 minutes, or until the parsnips are golden brown and fork-tender.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and optionally sprinkle with a touch more fresh rosemary for garnish before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot as a side dish to complement any main course, especially fine with roasted meats or a vegetarian main.
