Parsnips have a naturally sweet, earthy flavor that makes them a versatile addition to both sweet and savory dishes. Before sugar was readily available, parsnips were used to sweeten jams and cakes. Roast with olive oil and herbs for a delicious side, mash with butter for a creamy alternative to potatoes, or add to soups and stews for extra depth and sweetness. They can also be grated into fritters or baked into cakes for a subtle sweetness.
