Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then spread parsnips in an even layer. Drizzle with olive oil, season with red pepper flakes, salt and freshly ground black pepper, and toss to coat. Roast parsnips cut side down for 25- 30 minutes, or until caramelized and tender.
