Ocado British ParsnipsA sweet and earthy root vegetable, parsnips are a classic for adding a rich, nutty flavour to your meals. They have a long, conical shape with a creamy-white skin and a firm, dense flesh. The flavour is wonderfully sweet, earthy, and nutty, a little like a carrot but with a more pronounced sweetness. Parsnips are at their best when roasted. The high heat brings out their natural sugars, which caramelise to create a delicious, golden crust and an intensified sweetness. This makes them a quintessential part of any roast dinner, pairing perfectly with roasted meat and other vegetables. They can also be thinly sliced and roasted to make your own delicious parsnip crisps.They can be boiled and mashed for a smooth and satisfying alternative to potatoes, or blended into a creamy soup to add a comforting flavour. They are also a great addition to hearty stews and casseroles.Looking for recipe inspiration?If you like what you see in our serving suggestion, scroll down to follow our deliciously easy Parsnips coated with Parmesan and Sage recipe.Looking for more fresh produce for your favourite meals?
