Best 6 Maple Glazed Parsnips And Sweet Potatoes Recipes

MASHED SWEET POTATOES AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes, parsnips, thyme sprigs, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are well coated.
• Add 1/2 cup water and the half-and-half to the pot, cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally and adding 1/4 cup more water at a time if the pot is dry, until the vegetables are very tender, 30 to 35 minutes (at the end, there will not be a lot of liquid left).
• Discard the thyme sprigs and transfer the vegetables and any liquid to a food processor. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and process until very smooth. Add the vinegar and process to combine; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Sprinkle with more nutmeg.

MAPLE-GLAZED SWEET POTATO WEDGES WITH BACON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 3 or 4 wedges, 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick.
• In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with the oil and salt. Spread onto the baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a little space between the pieces. (Use two baking sheets if you need to).
• Bake for 20 minutes, then drizzle with the maple syrup, toss, and return to the oven for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the wedges are deeply brown on both sides.
• Once you've tossed the potatoes, place the bacon on an unlined sheet pan. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until crisp and cooked through. Place on a paper towel to drain (pour fat from the sheet pan into a jar and store in your refrigerator to use later, or discard), then chop into 1/2-inch pieces and toss with sweet potato wedges and the remaining teaspoon maple syrup. Garnish with flaky salt and serve immediately.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND VEGETABLES WITH THYME AND MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Scatter pieces of sweet potato, carrot, and parsnip onto a jelly roll pan; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are partially soft, about 30 minutes. Scatter thyme sprigs over vegetables and drizzle with maple syrup. Return to oven and bake until vegetables are soft, about 15 more minutes.

SWEET POTATOES AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise into four pieces, then into 3-in. slices. Cut parsnips into quarters, then into 3-in. pieces. Place the potatoes, parsnips and onion in a 3-qt. microwave-safe baking dish. Cover and microwave on high for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes; stir. Cover and cook 30 seconds longer or until vegetables are crisp tender. Add remaining ingredients; toss to coat. Transfer to two 15x10x1-in. baking pans coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.

MAPLE SWEET POTATO PUREE WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place sweet potatoes, 1/4 cup of the maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large mixing bowl. Toss to evenly coat and place on sheet tray. Roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until sweet potatoes are soft. Be sure to check on them after 15 minutes and stir, if needed.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter and add remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced onion, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Saute until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the pan becomes dry.
• Transfer sweet potato mixture to a food processor, (may need to be done in batches) and add about a tablespoon of hot water. Pulse until just blended and then add half the caramelized onions. Pulse just a few times until desired consistency, adding more hot water for a smoother puree. Fold in remaining caramelized onions, reserving some for garnish.
• Serve in a warm dish and garnish with the reserved caramelized onions. YUMMY!!!

MAPLE-GLAZED PARSNIPS AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Prepare parsnips: Trim tops and bottoms; peel, and slice in half crosswise to separate thick and thin parts. Halve or quarter thick parts lengthwise, until all parsnip pieces are roughly the same size. (In other words, slice 'em into matchsticks.).
• Prepare sweet potatoes: Trim ends, then quarter lengthwise and cut diagonally into 1/2" pieces.
• On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss parsnips and sweet potatoes with oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer.
• Roast until tender and golden, about 30 minutes. (Toss once or twice while roasting.) When done, transfer to a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, stir together maple syrup and mustard. Pour over parsnips and sweet potatoes, and stir to coat. Serve immediately.
