Roasted Parsnips
Ingredients
1 pound parsnips
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Directions

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Scrub the parsnips with a clean vegetable brush under running water and peel if large.

- Place the parsnips in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Leave at least ¼ inch between the pieces.
- Roast the parsnips in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, then stir and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes until tender and golden with some browning.

I had no idea parsnips were so tasty. Roasting them like potatoes brought out their sweet flavor and smooth texture.
