I love parsnips — they are easily one of my favorite sources of a good carb.    I love them mashed.  But it’s easier to roast them, and that’s what I do most often.  Here’s a quick and easy way you can prepare them.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. parsnips (about 4-5 large), peeled & chopped
• 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. paprika
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

Process

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
2. Try to chop your parsnips in pieces that are even in size — sometimes the tips can be really slender.
3. Place the chopped parsnips in an 8×8 baking dish, and toss with olive oil.
4. In a small bowl, mix the spices together.  Sprinkle the spices over your parsnips and give them another toss until they’re well coated.
5. Roast in the oven for a total of 30 minutes — stir them around at 15 minutes for even cooking and browning.
