Ingredients
- 2 pounds parsnips
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Peel the parsnips and trim off the ends. Cut them into evenly-sized sticks, approximately 1/2 inch wide and 3 inches long.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, salt, black pepper, fresh thyme leaves, and minced garlic. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined.
Step 4
Add the parsnip sticks to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Spread the coated parsnips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have space between them for even roasting.
Step 6
Roast the parsnips in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and use a spatula to flip the parsnips for even cooking.
Step 7
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the parsnips are golden brown and tender on the inside.
Step 8
Remove the parsnips from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with additional fresh thyme leaves if desired, and serve warm.
