I don't eat them often. I mix them 50/50 with carrots. Parboil about 10 minutes. Toss them in butter and sea salt and roast at 400 for about 20 min. Next I'm going to try putting them in the slow cooker with a chuck roast.
Well I'll never be a food blogger. LOL! I don't think I have the photography skills to do it justice. But its hard not to make it look good when the veggies are so purty.
Ha, we're having individual chicken (actually turkey) pot pies for dinner tonight! The only parsnips I've ever tasted were store bought and I didn't care for them. But like so many, many vegetables, if I had some home grown it might be a totally different story!
Everyone is coming across anonymously these days. I remember eating parsnips once or twice as a kid. They weren't bad but they weren't good either. Really they taste sort of like a bland carrot but they are more fibrous like horseradish. In fact I find myself wishing that horseradish roots grew more like a parsnip. They are really easy to dig and clean up pretty. They need several frosts to sweeten them up and I'm sure these will be better after the ground freezes well.
I’m ashamed to say I’ve never eaten a parsnip. You’ve made them look good enough to eat!

DeleteNot only are you a master gardener, you are a great photographer and know how to cook!
