1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  3. Scrub the parsnips with a clean vegetable brush under running water and peel if large.
  4. Cut the parsnips into 3 x ½ -inch sticks or 1-inch slices. Aim for pieces that are about the same size.
  5. Put the vegetables in a large bowl. Add the oil, salt, garlic powder and pepper and stir to coat the pieces.
  6. Place the parsnips in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Leave at least ¼ inch between the pieces.

  8. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

Notes

  • Try adding herbs such as oregano, rosemary, sage or thyme.
  • Try with other vegetables such as carrots or sunchokes.

Comments
