Sweet Potato and Parsnip Casserole image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes or yams, peeled
1 pound parsnips, peeled
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes and then the parsnips into paper-thin slices using a food processor fitted with the thinnest vegetable-slicing blade. If necessary, cut the potatoes in half or quarters lengthwise so they fit into the feeder tube.
  • Use 1 tablespoon of the butter to coat the inside of a 2-quart oven-proof casserole (a 6 by 10-inch
  • Pyrex pan works well). Combine the cream, stock, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Place
  • 1/3 of the sweet potatoes in a thin layer across the bottom of the casserole. Layer half the parsnips on top of the sweet potatoes. Repeat this sequence until all of the sweet potatoes and parsnips have been used. Pour the cream mixture over the top. It should reach about 3/4 of the way up the vegetables. Butter a piece of aluminum foil with the remaining butter and wrap the foil tightly over the casserole. Put in the oven and turn tempertature down to 325 degrees.
  • Bake the casserole 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue to cook another 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife and the top is browned. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm.

This casserole is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sweet potatoes and parsnips, and they don't even realize they're eating healthy.

This casserole was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of brown sugar next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the pecans in this recipe. It turned out great!

I was so excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The casserole was bland and lacked flavor. I think I'll stick to my old sweet potato casserole recipe.

This casserole was delicious! I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.

I'm not usually a fan of parsnips, but this casserole changed my mind! The sweetness of the sweet potatoes balanced out the earthiness of the parsnips perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This sweet potato and parsnip casserole was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! I loved the combination of sweet and savory flavors, and the parsnips added a nice depth of flavor. The casserole was also very easy to make, and it reheated well the next
