Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Step 2
Peel the parsnips and cut them into evenly sized batons, approximately 2.5cm (1 inch) thick to ensure even cooking.

Place the parsnip pieces into a large mixing bowl.

Add the olive oil, sea salt, ground black pepper, and fresh thyme to the bowl with the parsnips.
Step 5
Peel the garlic cloves and smash them with the flat side of a knife. Add them to the bowl with the parsnips.
Step 6
Toss everything together until the parsnips are well coated in the seasoned oil.
Step 7
Spread the parsnips in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the parsnips for 35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 9
Turn the parsnips halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.
Step 10
Once roasted, remove from the oven and serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
