Oil-Free Roasted Parsnips are crispy and sweet, colorful and flavorful, the perfect fall vegetable. Roasted without oil, these parsnips are healthy and delicious!
Have you had parsnips before? I always describe parsnips as the cross between carrots and potatoes. Parsnips are shaped like carrots and, when raw, they have that crunchy texture of carrots. But when roasted, parsnips become soft and meaty, closer to potatoes.
The denser texture makes parsnips the best warm and hearty fall food. Thank God for giving us access to food year round!

Fall is so pretty here in Bloomington. We have so many trees whose leaves change colors. I just want to spend all my time outside. But as it gets chilly, I'm craving some comfort food to warm me up.
Yes, I just called roasted parsnips comfort food. I love taking warm, crispy parsnips out of the oven and snacking on their crunchy, sweet, salty deliciousness. You won't think I'm so crazy once you've tried them.
Since parsnips are similar to potatoes, eating roasted parsnips is almost like eating french fries. But healthy. Win!
How to make Oil-Free Roasted Parsnips
Step 1. To prep parsnips for the oven, you'll want to peel them like you would peel carrots.
Step 2. Then chop them into thin wedges. You can easily get 12 sticks out of a single parsnip.
Step 3. After you chop, place the parsnips on a baking sheet. You can either line your baking sheet with parchment paper or add a few drops of water to keep the veggies from sticking during the roasting process.
Step 4. Sprinkle on salt and pepper and then roast.
Step 5. When finished, roasted parsnips will turn a beautiful crispy brown and be soft and mushy on the inside. How yummy!
