Place 2 large rimmed baking sheets in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Cut parsnips into "fries" about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick (cut out the cores if necessary; see Tip). Toss the parsnips in a large bowl with oil, oregano, paprika and onion powder. Spread on the hot baking sheets in an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes. Stir the parsnips and rotate the baking sheets top to bottom. Bake until browned around the edges, 10 to 15 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve. Tips Tips: For the best texture, pick firm, small to medium parsnips; trim and peel before cooking. Large parsnips have a fibrous, woody core. Trim, peel and quarter them lengthwise, then cut out the core before cooking.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
