  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black pepper
  • Optional: Fresh herbs (like parsley or thyme) for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and cut the parsnips into sticks of uniform size.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  4. Add the parsnip sticks to the bowl and toss them in the garlic butter mixture until coated.
  5. Spread the parsnips in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
  2. Once done, remove from the oven, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with olive oil or vegan butter. Ensure parsnips are evenly cut for even cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pan-fry or place back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
