Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the parsnips and cut them into uniform strips or wedges, approximately 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick for even roasting.

In a large mixing bowl, toss the parsnip pieces with olive oil, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Step 4
Sprinkle the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh thyme over the parsnips, and toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned parsnips out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded to promote even roasting.

Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the parsnips are golden brown and tender.
Step 7
Remove from oven and serve immediately as a delicious Whole30-friendly side dish.
