Parsnips are closely related to carrots. They are in the same family as carrots, but can be distinguished by their leafy and serrated tops. The stalks can be peeled, cut into chunks, and then roasted or boiled. Parsnips can be eaten raw or cooked. For maximum flavor, boil or roast the parsnips with a little salt and pepper.

How To Roast Parsnips

For this recipe, you’ll need to use parsnips that are about the same size as your thumb. Peel the parsnips and place them in a roasting dish. They can be either in halves or in quarters. Pour some olive oil into the dish and roast the parsnips for about 35-40 minutes. You’ll want to turn them around after about 20 minutes, then turn them for the remaining 15 minutes. The roasted parsnips should have a nice, toasty aroma. Remove them from the oven, and allow them to cool before you eat them.
