Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
-
Peel the parsnips and cut them into uniform pieces, about 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
-
Place the parsnip slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they’re not overcrowded.
-
Drizzle the olive oil over the parsnips, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
-
Sprinkle the cayenne and sea salt evenly over the parsnips, then toss them gently with your hands or a spatula to coat them evenly with the seasoning.
-
Roast the parsnips in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, placing the baking sheet on the bottom rack.
-
After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and give the parsnips a gentle stir to ensure they cook evenly.
-
Sprinkle the minced garlic over the parsnips, distributing it evenly, and return the baking sheet to the oven.
-
Continue roasting the parsnips for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
-
Once the parsnips are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
-
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or cayenne to suit your preference.
-
Serve the oven-roasted parsnips warm as a delicious side dish or snack, and enjoy their irresistible flavor and crunchy texture!
