Kid-Friendly Parsnip Fries

• 1 1/2 lbs parsnips, peeled and cut into sticks
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Heat oven (with oven rack in middle) to 400°F. On rimmed sheet pan, toss together parsnips, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper (6 turns on pepper mill). Roast, stirring half way through, until the parsnips are golden brown and tender, about 25 minutes.
