Baked Parsnip Fries

Parsnips on a bed of kale2 1/2 pounds parsnips and/or carrots, peeled, cut into about 3” strips
1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary, plus 5 sprigs rosemary
1 large garlic clove, minced
3 Tbsp. olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 tsp. ground cumin, more to taste

Preheat oven to 450°F. Mix parsnips/carrots, chopped rosemary, garlic, and oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Scatter rosemary sprigs over.

Roast for 10 minutes; turn and roast until parsnips/carrots are tender and browned in spots, 10-15 minutes longer. Crumble leaves from rosemary sprigs over; discard stems and toss to coat. Sprinkle with cumin. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more cumin, if desired.
