Tell someone you are cooking parsnips and watch the confused expression on their face. They may ask: how do you cook parsnips?
That's when you tell them this cream-coloured root vegetable is versatile, delicious and a hidden gem of fall cuisine.
Available from September to December, parsnips are a great addition to soups, soufflés, veggie burgers and more.
HOW DO YOU COOK PARSNIPS?
Treat parsnips the same way you would carrots. The only difference here would be that parsnips should always be peeled.
Parsnips may be enjoyed raw – perhaps julienned and tossed into a salad – but also roasted, boiled and mashed.
