I love this recipe. The parsnips are cut into little chunks that are roasted into golden little nuggets. They become slightly sweet with a hint of nuttiness. They are even a great alternative as a side for Sunday brunch, holiday dinner or Sunday roast. I’ve even added them to a salad for added sweetness.
The key to this recipe is cutting everything to roughly the same size. Use the roll cut for this recipe, it works great with tapered vegetable like carrots and parsnips. Here’s a video:

Helpful Hints:
- In this recipe you can substitute 2 teaspoons of fresh rosemary for 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary. You can also substitute rosemary for thyme.
- If you don’t have parchment paper, you can use foil.
- Make sure the chunks of parsnips are in a single layer, that way they brown, rather than steam.
