Description
The best way to cook parsnips is by roasting them. Here’s a super easy recipe!
Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds of parsnips, washed, trimmed and cut into quarters lengthways. Peel them only if they have a wax coating.
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic (optional)
Salt to taste
black or crushed red pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place cut and trimmed parsnips on 13 x 18 baking sheet pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Using parchment paper is optional, however.
- Drizzle 3 Tablespoons of olive oil over the parsnips and toss to thoroughly coat.
- Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic over the parsnips and toss again.
- Place pan in the 425 degree oven. Check the parsnips after 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and use tongs or a spatula to turn over the parsnips so most of the brown sides are up. Put the pan back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes. The parsnips will be soft and have some browning and caramelization when finished roasting.
- When you remove the parsnips from the oven and while the parsnips are warm, sprinkle with salt and black or crushed red pepper to taste.
Notes
- If the parsnips you are using have been covered with wax, you will need to peel them. Otherwise, peeling the parsnips for this recipe is optional.
- Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper is optional.
