Easy Curried Parsnips
Easy Curried Parsnips transforms simple parsnip sticks into a flavorful side dish coated with a mixture of vegetable oil, curry powder, salt, and pepper, then roasted until they develop golden edges. The curry powder adds a warm spice tone balanced by the roasting process, which softens the parsnips while crisping the edges. This dish works well as a savory accompaniment to a wide range of meals and is versatile enough to accommodate mild or hot curry powders depending on preference.
