Ingredients
- 2 pounds parsnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a little olive oil.
Step 2
Wash and peel the parsnips. Cut them into even chunks or sticks, about 1/2 inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the cut parsnips, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss thoroughly until the parsnips are well coated with the oil and seasonings.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned parsnips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for about 25-30 minutes or until the parsnips are golden brown and tender, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
Step 6
Once cooked to your liking, remove the parsnips from the oven. Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the roasted parsnips warm as a healthy, low sodium side dish.
