Many enjoy them roasted, this makes them slightly sweet and perfectly tender for a quick side dish, which you might love more than the main course. I know two grandchildren who love eating them with a Sunday Roast 😊 their two favourites are Roast Beef and Roast Chicken

...I have some in the garden waiting to be harvested.
I've always known about parsnips, but you know... I've never had them and I haven't seen them in Hawaii. I shall have to keep my eyes open. Thank you.
Thanks for this recipe. I do like parsnips but I have only used them in soup. This is a great idea
You have reminded me that I should eat them more often (despite being the only person in the house who likes them).
Don't mind a young parsnip or two...often bake them sometimes mash them with the carrots.
They aren't very popular where I shop. I don't think I've ever seen them, even though they are an autumn favorite of mine.
Jan they seem high in carbohydrates for diabetics? What portion size do you recommend for a diabetic? I know they are nutritious.
Rock. We live behind a rock here. Jamie Oliver used them, too, but I never found them here...
Wonderful parsnips! Roast chicken and parsnips, a dream! Valerie
Hello, Shame on me,:=) I have never eaten a parsnip, or seen one. The roasted vegetables do look good, I shall have to look out for them in the market. Those recipes seem delicious.
I love parsnips, one of the nicest things on a roast dinner, and a must on a Christmas dinner, yum.
Oh I do like a nice roast parsnip! They're definitely not just for Christmas.
I love roast parsnips. That recipe for pork, cider and parsnips sounds worthy of a try.
Thank you for the recipe
I will give parsnips a try.
I must finally try parsnips, because it returns to favor after many years.
I love then roasted yum, have a peaceful Sunday.
I really like the tangy flavor of Parsnips and toss them in an oven veggie bake when I can find them...I like to pair up with rutabaga and red potato. TC
A vegetable made me tear up and miss home. The humble old parsnip, I couldn't remember what it's called in Swedish. I googled it and when I saw the answer, it was like I was back at my childhood dinner table, eating palsternackor. You are so right, it's a great root vegetable and I will print out your recipe and buy some next time I go grocery shopping.
they look so good...that is a wonderful way to cook them!!!
I've not had those for a while.
We grew parsnips in garden.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Roasted parsnips is a favorite of mine. Can't wait to try this recipe. A regular treat from mum when we were growing up. Thanks Jan :)
Last year you inspired me to make parsnips for the first time. You're right, they are good. Thanks for this recipe.
I have never had them.
Mmmmm that looks delicious!!

Hello Christine
Many thanks for your comment and question.
Yes vegetables do differ with the amount of carbs, and there is a good article on Diet Doctor site regarding this
https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/vegetables
For instance, Parsnips contain 13g net carbs per 100g/3½ ounces, whereas Carrots contain 7g net carbs per 100g/3½ ounces and something like eggplant is only 3g net carbs per 100g/3½ ounces!
Husband Eddie, a type 2 diabetic, finds eating 2 or 3 slices of parsnips works for him, but it is so important for any diabetic to use their meters and test to see what foods affect their blood sugars.
You may also find our article
Introduction to Low Carb an interesting read, see link below.
An effective low carb diet (or perhaps we should refer to it as a 'lifestyle') is one which allows a person to maintain, most of the time, a healthy blood glucose level. The amount of carbs it contains will vary between individuals, depending mainly on personal choice, pancreatic function and insulin resistance. A possible range might be:
Low carb (ketogenic) 0-50g carbohydrate per day
Typical low carb 50-90g
Liberal low carb 90-130g
Moderate carb 130-170g
High carb 170g and more

Those parsnips look great.
Parsnip fries are one of my absolute favorites. I will have to give this recipe a try. I also need to make that soup! :) YUM!

It's worth mentioning that a after a quick blanch parsnips are good to freeze.
Nunca provei e deve de ser bom.

I remember my mom fixing them...I am pretty sure she raised them. But I did not eat them...I was a picky kid. I wonder if I would like them now.
Oh, I could devour those right now.xxx

All the best and greetings.
