Ingredients
1 lb parsnips, peeled and cut into 3-inch sticks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss parsnip sticks with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread parsnips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Tips
For extra crispiness, soak the parsnip sticks in cold water for 30 minutes before drying and seasoning.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
