Sweet and savory roasted parsnips with a touch of maple syrup and fresh thyme, perfect for a cozy side dish.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Parsnips (cut into uniform sticks) Ensure even cooking by cutting uniformly.
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (or avocado oil)
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (or honey/agave as a substitute)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme (or dried thyme, one-third amount)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel the parsnips. Cut them into uniform sticks to ensure they cook evenly.
Mixing
- In a large bowl, combine the cut parsnips, olive oil, maple syrup, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well so that each parsnip stick is coated.
Roasting
- Spread the parsnips in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they have space between them for even roasting.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender. Flip them halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, add minced garlic or a sprinkle of chili flakes to the mix before roasting. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
