Roasted Parsnips with Mushrooms and Parsley

This is a lovely side dish that can be paired great with any protein of your choice ( my friend swears it would go great with pork! My veggie taste buds are unsure.) Either way stop wondering and just make it. The sweetness of the parsnips compliments the savoriness of the mushrooms. Make extras cause you won't want to share! Here is the ingredients:

4 or 5 medium size parsnips ( cubed)
1 cup of mixed mushrooms of your choice
1/2 cup of parsley
4 cloves of garlic (diced)
1 medium size shallot (diced)
1/4 cup of coconut oil
rosemary and thyme ( chopped roughly 1 teaspoon)
salt and pepper to taste

.Pre heat oven to 400'.In a mixing bowl place the cubed parsnips ,  shallots, garlic, and the mixed herbs. Heat the coconut oil and once melted add the 1/4 cup of oil to the bowl. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix all together in bowl and once mixed thoroughly place on a baking sheet and roast at 400' in oven for about 45 minutes. Stirring every 15 minutes or so.
While that is roasting in the oven , prepare  the mushrooms. Saute on low heat with a touch of olive oil , salt, and garlic. Roughly 5 to 8 minutes.
Once the parsnips are done , combine the mushrooms, parsnips, and raw parsley together and serve.
