  5. Spread the parsnips in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

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.
