Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Divide parsnips and oil between two rimmed baking sheets, and toss. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook's Notes

Slicing parsnips on the diagonal isnâ€™t just for a nice-looking presentation: As they roast, the thicker middles turn tender, while the pointed ends become deliciously caramelized.
