- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Peel the parsnips and carrots. Cut them into evenly-sized dice, roughly 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) cubes, to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Place the diced parsnips and carrots into a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle in the garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Toss the vegetables in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Step 6
Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Step 7
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through, until they are golden and tender.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool slightly for a minute or two.
Step 9
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and added freshness.
Step 10
Serve the parsnip and carrot dice warm as a side dish or light entrée.
