Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs Parsnips Choose firm, smooth ones for optimum flavor.
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil Avocado Oil can be used as an alternative.
- 2 tbsp Maple Syrup Honey/Agave can be used based on preference.
- 2 tbsp Fresh Thyme Use about one-third if dried.
- 1 tsp Salt Adjust to taste.
- 1 tsp Pepper Adjust to taste.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the parsnips roast evenly.
- Wash the parsnips thoroughly. Peel them with a vegetable peeler and cut them into even-sized pieces, about 1-inch thick.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well to mix everything together.
- Add the chopped parsnips to the bowl and toss them in the mix until well-coated.
Cooking
- Spread the coated parsnips in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring enough space between them for even roasting.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, flipping halfway for a better roast.
Serving
- Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy the delicious flavors!
Notes
Maple Roasted Parsnips pair well with many main dishes like roasted chicken, beef, or fish. They can also be added to salads or vegetable platters. For extra flavor and texture, consider sprinkling feta cheese or walnuts on top.
