When I was growing up, we used to eat parsnips boiled and mashed with carrots, or roasted on their own. The roasted ones are hands-down my favourite, as the process of roasting them brings out a sweet, almost brand new flavour.
Roasted Parsnips:
Ingredients:
2lb of parsnips, peeled and julienned (or chopped however you like –even sizing is the key)
Olive oil or substitute
Salt and pepper
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
Drizzle oil over parnsips in a bowl, mix until well coated.
Add salt and pepper.
Spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet, and bake for 20-30 min or until tender on the inside.
Enjoy!
