  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon flat-leaved parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
  • ¾ pound parsnips, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch discs (about 2 large parsnips)

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
