Ingredients

    2 medium sized parsnips (approx. 9"), 1/2 tbsp. butter, salt & pepper to taste.

Directions

Peel the parsnips and cut off and discard the ends. Slice into 1" rings and place in a microwave safe dish with 1/4 cup of water. Microwave 5-7 minutes on high or until tender when pierced with a knife tip. Do not overcook or they will get soggy.

Melt 1/2 tbsp. butter in a nonstick pan. Drain parsnips and saute in the butter on medium/high heat for a few minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Season with a little salt and pepper.

    I skipped the microwave part and just let them cook in the skillet until a crunchy brown on the outside. Yum - 10/25/09

    didn't do the par boil but sauted in Olive Oil, even my daughter thought they were great (I didn't tell her they were good for her) - 2/24/10

    I used olive oil instead of butter (allergic to the latter), and enjoyed it. Thank you. :) - 3/16/13

    Good method for speeding up cooking. I sprayed my pan with Pam and sprinkled Butter Buds on the parsnips before microwaving. Used my favorite salt and dried chipotle seasoning while sauteing. Yum. - 7/14/12

    I added fresh sliced mushrooms and a bit of crushed fennel seed in place of the salt. I could eat this once a month or so as a change of pace. - 1/11/11

    I enjoyed this simple recipe. They made a good snack the next day. When cold it seemed to bring out the sweetness. I will have to try egg and flour dipped version. - 3/11/10

    I like mine sliced thinner, and sauteed without the precooking, but this was a good variation! Thanks! - 4/15/09

    I will have to try parsnips this way. We had them for Christmas and my mom fries them in butter after dipping them in egg and flour. She said to also bake them without the butter is good too! - 12/29/08
