Parsnips

Fresh Direct lured me into purchasing parsnips with their "in season" voodoo. I am still not 100% what parsnips ARE. White carrots? Let's just say they're white carrots. After some googling, I couldn't come up with a cool recipe so I just sliced them into coins and roasted with olive oil and sea salt. To be honest, I didn't love them. Granted, it was a very simple preparation but they tasted a little too sweet for me.

According to nutritiondata.com they are a good source of "Potassium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C, Folate and Manganese." So not a waste of a meal but next time I think I'll go with the tried and true puree or mash.
