Oven Roasted Parsnips

Parsnip is a root vegetable similar to carrot, but creamish white in colour.  You can follow the same recipe for potatoes, carrots, turnips, broccoli, cauliflower etc.  

Ingredients:
Parsnips - 6
Black Pepper Powder - 1/4 tsp
Cayenne Pepper/Red Chilli Powder - 1/4 tsp
Italian Seasoning - 1/4 tsp
Oil - 2 tbsp
Salt

Method:
1. Peel the parsnip skin and dice it into long pieces, like fries.
2. In a mixing bowl, add black pepper powder, cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, salt and oil.  Mix well.  Add the diced parsnips and toss to coat them well.  Add grated ginger and/or garlic if you like.  Dry ginger, garlic, onion powders can also be used. 
3. I used a dry organic Italian seasoning with marjoram, thyme, rosemary, savory, oregano and basil.  Sometimes I use Indian Garam Masala and Chat Masala as seasoning.
4. Preheat the oven at 375 deg. F for about 10 minutes.  Spread the parsnips on a baking dish.  Bake the parsnips for about 6 - 7 minutes.  Flip/Toss them and bake for another 8 minutes.  Cooking time may vary.  15 - 20 minutes would be enough to get the parsnips glazed.
