Ingredients (for 4)

Large parsnips - 2 - peeled and diced
Large eggs - 8
Goat cheese - 1 cup - crumbled
Slivered almonds - 1/2 cup - toasted
Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
Fresh thyme leaves - 1 teaspoon
Fresh rosemary - 1 teaspoon - chopped
Salt and black pepper - to taste

Preparation

Step 1 - 🌡️🥔🧂

Preheat your oven to 375F degrees. Toss the diced parsnips in a tablespoon of olive oil, then season them with salt and pepper. Spread the parsnips on a baking sheet.
Step 2 - ⏲️🥔🍽️

Roast the prepared parsnips in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until they become tender and slightly golden.
Step 3 - 🥚🧂🥣

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 4 - 🔥🍳🥘

In a pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the roasted parsnips to the pan and pour the prepared eggs over them. Cover the pan and let the eggs cook on low heat for about 20 minutes.
Step 5 - 🧀🥘🔥

Scatter the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the top of the eggs and parsnips. Place the pan into the oven and broil until the cheese starts to melt and the omelette puffs up. This should take about 5 minutes.
Step 6 - 🌿🌰🍽️

Top your dish with fresh herbs and toasted almond slivers, then serve it while hot.
