Ingredients
  

Parsnips
  • 680 g parsnips peeled and trimmed; weigh after preparation
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 27 g
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup 30 g
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Equipment

  • 1 large rimmed baking sheet
  • 1 Knife and cutting board
  • 1 vegetable peeler
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Spatula

Instructions
 

Roast and glaze
  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and trim the parsnips. Remove distinctly woody cores, then weigh out 680 g. Cut into roughly 3-inch batons about ½ inch thick.
  2. Dry thoroughly. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread on a large rimmed metal sheet pan in a single layer with space between pieces.
  3. Roast for 20 minutes. Turn the parsnips, drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with thyme. Toss to coat.
  4. Roast another 10–20 minutes, until thicker pieces are easily pierced and edges are browned. Turn again if needed and remove thin pieces that finish early.
  5. Toss with lemon juice and serve warm.
