Oven Roasted Parsnips
Oven Roasted Parsnips are cut into manageable pieces, tossed with olive oil, fresh rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, then roasted until golden and tender. This method softens the naturally sweet, earthy parsnips and crisps their edges, creating a comforting side dish that works well alongside meats or as part of a roasted vegetable medley.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds parsnip
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons rosemary chopped, fresh
- 1 clove garlic minced
- salt kosher salt
- black pepper kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Peel the parsnips. Cut parsnips down the center, lengthwise. Then cut each half into 3 to 4 pieces, about 1/2 inch to 1-inch wide and about 4 inches long. You can cut away the woody core, if desired.
- On a rimmed baking sheet, toss parsnips with oil, rosemary and garlic, then season with salt and pepper.
- Roast until tender and golden, about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
Notes
- Store leftover roasted parsnips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
- To freeze, spread cooled parsnip pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze completely before transferring to a freezer-safe bag; they keep well up to 3 months.
- Thaw frozen roasted parsnips overnight in the refrigerator before reheating to preserve texture and flavor.
