It doesn't take much to turn parsnips into delicious, candy-like morsels. A bit of oil, a little salt and pepper, apply relatively high heat, wait, serve!

In a pinch, you can roast your parsnips at lower temperatures, but they won't come out quite as tender and sweet that way as the lower heat tends to dry them out a bit more and not give you the delicious caramelization that you get with the higher temperatures.
