Ingredients

  • 3 pounds parsnips, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • fresh thyme leaves (if desired)

Instructions

  • Set oven and prepare pan. Preheat the oven to 475°F and adjust a rack to the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and generously coat it with olive oil.
  • Prepare parsnips. Add the peeled and chopped parsnips and mix them into the oil. They should be very well coated. Sprinkle all with salt and pepper.
  • Roast. Once the oven has preheated to 475°F, roast the parsnips until they’re tender and golden, approximately 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. 

  • Garnish and serve. Sprinkle them with fresh thyme leaves for a touch of color and wonderful scent.
