Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Peel the parsnips and cut them into uniform sticks or wedges, approximately 1cm (1/2 inch) thick, so they cook evenly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the cut parsnips to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned parsnips in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 6
Roast the parsnips in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and tender.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and transfer the roasted parsnips to a serving dish.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh thyme if using and serve immediately.
