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

  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

  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.

  8. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

  • Try with other vegetables such as carrots or sunchokes.
