Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a clove of minced garlic to the vegetables before roasting.

Roasting time may vary depending on your oven. Check for doneness by piercing the parsnips with a fork – they should be easily pierced.

This dish is delicious served with roasted chicken, pork, or a vegetarian main course.
