Sweet and savory parsnips are roasted to golden perfection with maple syrup and fresh thyme, creating a flavorful, tender vegetable treat that’s easy to prepare and pairs well with a variety of meals.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Roasting

  • 1 pound Parsnips, peeled and cut into uniform ½ inch sticks
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil or avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (or honey/agave as a substitute)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even roasting of the parsnips.
  2. Prepare Parsnips: Peel the parsnips and cut them into uniform sticks approximately ½ inch thick for consistent cooking.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the parsnip sticks with olive oil, maple syrup, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything well to coat all the pieces evenly.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated parsnips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and encourage even roasting.
  5. Roast Parsnips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the parsnips for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and tenderness.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Once golden-brown and tender, remove from the oven and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with extra fresh thyme leaves for an added fragrance and flavor.

Notes

  • Cut parsnips uniformly for even roasting and consistent texture.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Substitute maple syrup with honey or agave if preferred to accommodate dietary preferences.
  • Use avocado oil instead of olive oil for a higher smoke point and milder flavor.
