If you haven't already done so, peel and trim parsnips. Then chop them up like fries and set them aside.
Peel and chop the onion. Also peel and grate the garlic and ginger.*
Add oil to a pan and place it over medium heat
Add chopped onion and saute about 5 minutes.
Then add in the grated ginger and garlic and saute another 5 minutes, stirring often
Turn the heat up to the 3/4 heat mark and add in the parsnips, turmeric, coriander, smoked paprika, and cumin and pan roast for about 15 minutes or until parsnips are tender. Make sure to stir parsnips and spices often and use a splash of coconut milk to loosen any burnt bits on the pan.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with parsley and enjoy!
