Roasted Parsnips With Thyme

• 2 lbs parsnips (5 to 6 medium)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 12 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 12 teaspoon salt
• 14 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 2 -3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme

1. Preheat the oven to 425F Peel the parsnips and cut them into 2-inch lengths.
2. Quarter the thickest pieces, halve the medium ones, and leave the thinnest ones whole.
3. You want all the pieces to be about the same size.
4. Put the butter in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the parsnips in a single layer and put the dish in the oven until the butter melts.
5. Stir in the brown sugar and vinegar.
6. Add the parsnips, salt, and pepper and stir to coat all the pieces evenly.
7. Bake for 20 minutes.
8. Remove the pan from the oven and stir in the thyme.
9. Continue to bake until the parsnips are browned and tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes longer.
