- 1 tsp fine sea salt, plus more for the cooking water

Instructions
- 1
Place the parsnip, sweet potato, and turnip chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until all the vegetables are completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, 18–22 minutes.

While the vegetables cook, heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, thyme, and rosemary and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is softened and fragrant but not browned, about 2 minutes. Watch closely — minced garlic can color quickly. Remove from heat.
