I have to admit I had never eaten a parsnip. It was not a veggie any one in my family had ever cooked. And I would not have cooked it now if Ulrike had not chosen it for this week’s veggie.
I would have to describe it as “not a carrot”. It looks like a white carrot. The taste is similar to a carrot but with a little bite.
I looked at a lot of recipes. Most of the recipes were for mashing, roasted, or in a soup.
i decided to go simple. Roasted. With butter and garlic.

I have to admit they weren’t bad but not something I would use again. I’d just as soon have carrots.
Here is the recipe
Kayte, Ulrike, and Peggy all made parsnip dishes. Go check them out.
If you want to join us just let one of us know. We’ll give you the schedule through the end of the year.

I would have compared parsnips to parsley root rather than a carrot. The taste reminds me of a mixture of carrot and celeriac.
Too bad they did not convince yo

I’ve never had parsley root so I have no comparison for it. Celeriac either.

What a loss for your taste buds … no chance to decide if they are pleased or not

Your parsnips look really good, we love them cooked like this. That said, I really want some of that chicken resting beside the parsnips, that looks excellent. Now you can say you’ve had a parsnip!
