Maple Roasted Parsnips

Ingredients:
2 1/4 pounds parsnips
4 fluid ounces vegetable oil
3 1/2 fluid ounces maple syrup

Preparing the parsnips:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Peel the parsnips and then halve them crosswise, then halve or quarter each piece lengthwise.

Place the parsnips into a roasting pan. Pour the oil over the parsnips and coat them. Drizzle the maple syrup over the parsnips and place the pan in the oven. Roast the parsnips for 35 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown.
