These parsnips are a winning recipe whether you've liked parsnips in the past or not. I experimented with this recipe to try to make parsnips more enjoyable for folks who previously didn't enjoy them. This one is good for a sodium restricted diet. It tastes like you're cheating that diet but you won't be. Enjoy.

Tips for Cooking Parsnips Like a Pro

  • Choose the right parsnips: Look for parsnips that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises. Avoid parsnips that are limp or have a lot of brown spots.
  • Peel the parsnips before cooking: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the thin, outer layer of the parsnips.
  • Cut the parsnips into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If you are roasting the parsnips, cut them into 1-inch chunks. If you are boiling or steaming them, cut them into 2-inch pieces.
  • Season the parsnips before cooking: Sprinkle the parsnips with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings before cooking. This will help them develop flavor.
  • Cook the parsnips until they are tender: The parsnips are done cooking when they are tender when pierced with a fork. Depending on the cooking method, this will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the parsnips immediately: Parsnips are best served hot or warm. You can enjoy them as a side dish or use them in a variety of recipes.
