These roasted parsnips are not actually french fries -- but they are deliciously crispy and just as addictive. They're so good my 5 year old devoured them, and that's a serious win in my book.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degree Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (this is just to save time on the clean-up).
Cut parsnips into 4" long strips no more than ¼" thick. Place parsnips on the baking sheet, coat them in olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper, then spread them out in an even layer as much as possible.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges start to get browned and crispy. Remove from the oven, sprinkle more salt (to taste) over them and parsley (optional) to garnish. Eat immediately.
