Ingredients
- 500 grams parsnips
- 2 medium yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
Peel the parsnips and cut them into evenly sized batons or chunks about 2–3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Peel the onions and slice them into thick wedges, keeping the layers intact to help them roast evenly.
Step 4
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the parsnips and onions. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Toss well to coat the vegetables evenly.
Step 6
Spread the parsnip and onion mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring even spacing so they roast properly.
Step 7
Roast in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, tossing the vegetables halfway through to ensure even caramelization.
Step 8
Check for doneness by piercing the parsnips with a fork— they should be tender and lightly browned on the edges.
Step 9
Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the vegetables for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 10
Serve hot as a side dish to complement roasted meats, stews, or hearty vegetarian mains.
