Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking sheet with vegetable oil.
-
Step 2.
Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, flipping once, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to cool, reserving the rendered fat in the skillet.
-
Step 3.
Place the peeled and chopped parsnips in a large plastic freezer bag. Drizzle in the reserved bacon fat and sprinkle with seasoning salt, herbes de Provence, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne. Seal the bag and shake to coat evenly. Transfer the parsnips to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer with space between pieces.
-
Step 4.
Bake the parsnips for 25 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork. While the parsnips bake, crumble the cooled bacon. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the parsnips, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
