Parsnips look like white carrots, but the flavor is much different. A friend of mine told me to parboil them and then pan-roast with some spices. When I took one parsnip out of the bag, it smelled sweet to me. I immediately thought coriander.  But, deferred to the Internet and chose Lemon Pepper, Dill, and salt – about 1/2 t each.  I skipped the parboil, and started with a little Earth Balance and water to do the pan-roasting. The result was delicious!

With a few more parsnips in the bag, I think I’ll try coriander next. Stay tuned!
