Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Parsnips Firm and smooth; can substitute with carrots.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Enhances flavor and promotes caramelization; avocado oil can be used.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Pink Himalayan salt adds sophistication.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fresh black pepper Consider smoked paprika for an intriguing twist.
  • optional Fresh herbs Use rosemary or thyme for a fragrant note; dried herbs work as well.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel the parsnips and cut them into even-sized pieces.
Cooking
  1. Toss the parsnips with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Spread the parsnips in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through.
  4. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs if desired before serving.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure roasting instead of steaming. For extra texture, mix parsnips with other root vegetables. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for a tangy finish.
