Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound parsnips, quartered lengthwise and halved crosswise
1 pound carrots, quartered lengthwise and halved crosswise
1 pound turnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1/4 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Grated zest of 1/2 lemon, plus wedges for serving

  • Place a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 475 degrees F. Toss the parsnips, carrots and turnips with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
