CREAMY MASHED TURNIPS AND PARSNIPS (VEGAN)



Creamy Mashed Turnips and Parsnips (Vegan) image

Mashed potatoes are one of my favorite foods, but it's fun and healthy to sub in different root veggies from time to time. This is one of my favorite combinations so far. The tartness of the turnips is nicely balanced by the sweetness of the parsnips. I enjoy these with Recipe #248055, Recipe #401093, or Recipe #361996.

6 carrots, peeled and chopped
4 large parsnips, peeled and chopped
2 turnips, peeled and chopped
½ cup butter
½ cup heavy whipping cream
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Tips:

  • To enhance the earthy flavor of turnips and parsnips, roast them before mashing. Roasting caramelizes the natural sugars, resulting in a deeper and more complex flavor.
  • For a creamier texture, use a combination of dairy-free milk (such as almond or oat milk) and vegetable broth. The broth adds a savory depth of flavor, while the milk provides a creamy richness.
  • Use a potato masher or food processor to achieve your desired consistency. If you prefer a smoother mash, use a food processor until the turnips and parsnips are completely pureed. For a more rustic texture, use a potato masher to leave some small chunks.
  • Season the mashed turnips and parsnips generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other herbs and spices to your taste, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
  • Garnish the mashed turnips and parsnips with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or cilantro. This adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.

Conclusion:

Creamy mashed turnips and parsnips are a delicious and nutritious dish that can be enjoyed by vegans and non-vegans alike. This versatile side dish pairs well with a variety of main courses and can be easily customized to your taste. Whether you prefer a smooth or rustic texture, a mild or bold flavor, mashed turnips and parsnips are sure to please. So next time you're looking for a creamy and comforting side dish, give this vegan recipe a try!
