A delightful twist on roasted parsnips, featuring a touch of honey and warm spices for a flavorful side dish.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps achieve a crispy texture.
Peel and cut the parsnips into evenly sized sticks.
Uniform sizes ensure even roasting and prevent some pieces from overcooking.
In a mixing bowl, toss the parsnips with olive oil, cinnamon, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Mix thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned parsnips in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow proper roasting.
Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Stirring ensures even browning on all sides.
Drizzle the honey over the parsnips and sprinkle with minced garlic, then roast for an additional 10 minutes.
Adding honey towards the end prevents it from burning and enhances caramelization.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
Taste and adjust salt to your preference before serving.
