How to Roast Parsnips?

Roasting parsnips is like giving them a warm hug in the oven until they become sweet and soft.

Parsnips are like carrots’ cooler cousins, they’re long, usually white or pale yellow, and you can find them in the vegetable aisle. To roast them, you first need to peel them, that means taking off their outside layer, just like peeling an apple.

Once they're peeled, you can cut them into chunks or leave them whole. Then you put them on a baking sheet and add some oil, like the kind you use to fry eggs. This helps make them extra tasty.

Next, you pop them into the oven, the same one you use to bake cookies! You let them stay there for about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how big they are. The heat makes them go from firm and a bit crunchy to soft and sweet, like when you leave your favorite snack in the microwave too long.

You can eat them as is or add some salt and pepper, just like adding sprinkles to ice cream. And that’s it, now you’ve roasted parsnips!
