Just like Brussels sprouts, parsnips seem to be misunderstood.
I dont blame youI skipped over parsnips for years!
Theseroot vegetableshave a sweet, nutty flavor with a starchy, slightly spicy characteristic thats hard to beat.
What is a Parsnip?
Like carrots, parsnips are long, tapering root vegetables that grow deep underground.
Youll often find them in the fall or winter because theyre usually harvested after the first frost.
Many farmers choose to leave them in the ground all winter long and dig them up in the spring.
Pro Tip: I always buy organic parsnips because it means I dont have to peel them.
How to Cook Parsnips
There are many different ways tocook parsnips.
I think the easiest (and, best) way involves roasting them in a high-temperature oven.
Roast them on their own or combine them with other root vegetables.
Just check that everything is cut to the same size if youre mixing your veggies!
