Roasted Parsnip Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 parsnips
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and peel the parsnips, then cut them into thick slices or wedges.
3. Place the parsnips on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme. Toss to coat the parsnips evenly.
4. Roast the parsnips in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized around the edges. Flip them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
5. Remove the roasted parsnips from the oven and transfer them into a serving dish. Serve immediately.

Verdict and Serving Suggestions:

Roasted parsnips are a delicious and healthy side dish that are perfect for any meal. The sweetness of the parsnips complements the hint of thyme and the earthy taste of olive oil. For an added crunch, sprinkle with chopped nuts like pecans or hazelnuts before serving. This dish pairs well with roasted chicken or turkey, and is also great with beef or pork. Enjoy!
