Ingredients

• 500 g parsnips
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the parsnips thoroughly and peel them. Trim the tops and bottoms, then cut them into evenly sized batons (about 2 inches long and ½-inch thick).

Step 3

Place the cut parsnips in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.

Step 4

Toss the parsnips in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned parsnips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the parsnips halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.

Step 7

Remove the parsnips from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added freshness and color.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
