Ingredients

  • Sea salt
  • 2 pounds parsnips, peeled and sliced lengthwise into quarters
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the parsnips in the water and blanch for 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  • Arrange the parsnips on the baking sheet, drizzle with the oil and then dribble with the maple syrup, and then toss to coat. Spread in a single layer.
  • Roast the parsnips until tender, about 25 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired, and serve immediately.
