Parsnip Fries

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Peel 2 1/2 pounds medium parsnips; cut as directed above.

On two large rimmed baking sheets, toss parsnips with oil; season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Spread in a single layer.

Roast until tender and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating baking sheets and tossing parsnips halfway through baking time.
