Ingredients

  • 6 medium parsnips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
  • 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.
