Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds (about 5-6 medium) parsnips
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil (or preferred cooking oil)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt (or ¼ teaspoon of fine salt)
- ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional)
Optional topping
- 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
- To start, peel the parsnips and cut them into about 3 inches by ¼-inch sticks.
- Add the parsnips to the air fryer basket and drizzle them with oil.
- Sprinkle the parsnips with the seasonings and toss them until they are evenly coated in oil and seasoning.
- Cook the seasoned parsnips at 400° F (204° C) for 10-15 minutes, pausing once to shake the parsnips for even cooking.
- When the parsnips appear to have darkened in color with brown edges, remove them from the air fryer. Optionally sprinkle them with chopped parsley for serving.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 390° F for 3-5 minutes.
Notes
The first time you cook these parsnips, pause the cooking intermittently to check for doneness.
