ROASTED PARSNIPS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Cut carrots and parsnips into 2-inch matchsticks about 1/4-inch thick. Toss with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss again. Spread carrots and parsnips in a 10x15-inch baking dish.
• Roast in the preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, until browned, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Combine butter, shallot, chives, rosemary, thyme, and garlic in a small bowl. Add to hot vegetables and toss to coat.

BUTTER FRIED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan cover parsnips with water, cover and boil over medium-high heat until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• In a plastic bag combine flour and seasoning salt. Dip parsnips in butter and place them in the bag. Shake bag to coat parsnips with the seasoned flour.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter starts to sizzle, add parsnips. Cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown.

HERBED BUTTER PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Put the olive oil and butter into a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and toss to coat them well with the fat; season with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the Herb Butter by combining the soft butter and herbs together; season with some salt and pepper.
• To serve, spread some Herb Butter in the bottom of a bowl. Add the hot vegetables and dot with more Herb Butter. Moisten with some of the cooking liquid and serve.

ROASTED PARSNIPS WITH GARLIC HERB BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Set aside a large baking sheet, large enough that the parsnips will only be in one layer.
• Wash then peel the parsnips. Slice the parsnips into equally sized sticks.
• Toss the parsnips with the olive oil.
• Place the parsnips on the baking sheet, then shake the sheet to coat the entire area with the olive oil from the parsnips. Make sure that the parsnips are in one layer.
• Place into the oven and roast for 20 minutes, then shake the sheet pan again, turning over some of the parsnips with a fork if needed. You want to brown the parsnips on all sides if possible.
• Roast for another 20-25 minutes, or until the parsnips are soft and golden brown.
• Prepare the butter sauce by combining all of the ingredients into a glass measuring cup. Salt to taste if you don't use salted butter or if you simply like lots of salt.
• Pour the sauce over the parsnips, shaking the sheet to make sure the butter sauce coats all of then evenly and roast for another 5-10 minutes, until the garlic pieces are golden brown and fragrant.

PARSNIPS WITH GARLIC-HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Peel 1 1/2 pounds parsnips; halve lengthwise and cut into 1-inch pieces. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast at 400˚ F, tossing once, until tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons softened butter, 1 teaspoon minced parsley, 1/2 teaspoon each minced rosemary and lemon zest and 1 clove grated garlic.

HERBED BUTTERED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• In a steamer set over boiling water steam the parsnips, covered, for 8 minutes, or until they are tender. While the parsnips are steaming, put the butter, the parsley, and the thyme in a heatproof serving bowl. Add the hot parsnips and toss them with the butter mixture, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.

PAN-SEARED PORK CHOPS WITH SAGE, DATES AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Brine the chops: Put salt and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk in 4 cups water to dissolve. Add thyme sprig and pork chops. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. When ready to cook, remove chops from brine and pat dry. Discard brine.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put a large pot of well-salted water over high heat. When it boils, add parsnips and bring to a brisk simmer. Cook until parsnips are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain parsnips and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, set a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. When oil is wavy, sear chops until nicely browned, about 3 minutes per side. (Work in batches if you don't have a large skillet.)
• Transfer chops to a roasting pan or sheet pan in one layer. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until meat is 140 degrees when probed with an instant-read thermometer. Remove from oven and let rest while you make the sauce.
• Wipe out the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Add butter and let it begin to brown. Add sage leaves and dates, and let sizzle for about a minute. Add pepper and lemon juice, and pull off heat. Taste, and add more pepper or lemon to taste.
• To serve, place chops and a spoonful of parsnips on warm plates. Spoon butter mixture over chops and parsnips.

GARLIC BUTTER ROASTED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Set out a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Peel the parsnips and slice them into ½ inch rounds. Cut the largest pieces in half.
• Place the parsnips on the baking sheet. Drizzle the parsnips with olive oil. Toss to coat, then spread them out on the baking sheet. Generously sprinkle the parsnips with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, until fork-tender.
• Meanwhile, mince the garlic and chop the parsley. Mix them into the melted butter.
• Once the parsnips are soft, pour the garlic butter over the top. Toss the parsnips and bake another 3-5 minutes. Serve immediately.
