  • Cut into uniform pieces and boil in salted water, 25 to 30 minutes or until tender.

Tips:

  • Select the right parsnips: Choose young, firm parsnips with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid parsnips that are too large, as they may be woody.
  • Peel the parsnips thinly: Use a vegetable peeler to remove just the outer layer of skin. Peeling too much of the parsnip will remove some of its flavor.
  • Cut the parsnips into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 1-inch thick.
  • Season the parsnips well: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Use a generous amount of butter: Butter is what gives butter-fried parsnips their rich flavor. Don't be afraid to use a few tablespoons.
  • Cook the parsnips over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Stir the parsnips occasionally: This will help them brown evenly.
  • Cook the parsnips until they are tender: You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
  • Serve the parsnips immediately: Butter-fried parsnips are best served hot. You can garnish them with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Butter-fried parsnips are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover parsnips, and they are also a healthy alternative to French fries. So next time you're looking for a tasty and nutritious side dish, give butter-fried parsnips a try.
