Ingredients
4 medium potatoes
1 large parsnip
4 tsp olive oil
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme, or 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
6 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
Position oven rack in top third of oven. Preheat oven to 500F (260C). Lightly oil or spray a large, rimmed baking sheet. Peel potatoes, only if you wish. Cut into french fry-size pieces. Place in a large bowl. Peel parsnip, then slice into similar-size pieces. (Don't worry if end of parsnip is skinny.) Add to potatoes in bowl.
Add oil and seasonings. Toss until evenly coated. Spread out on baking sheet in a single layer. Add unpeeled garlic. Roast on top rack until tender and deep golden, 20 to 25 minutes. You don't need to stir.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir mayonnaise with 1 tsp (5 mL) thyme and lemon peel. When vegetables are done, remove from oven. Squeeze cloves from peels into mayonnaise and mash. Serve alongside fries for dunking.
