A great alternative to potatoes, these roasted parsnips are sweet, smokey, and nutty.

1 pound parsnips
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  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.

Comments

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