  • “Loved this recipe.We often have parsnips and I frequently semi boil them until just beginning to get soft them toss them with alittle butter add some soy sauce, just a little, to get them very brown looking.Then pop them in the oven to heat them and serve MMmmmm”

  • “Couldn’t decide ifI would use pumpkin pie spice or Creole seasoning.Settled on the pie spice and loved this recipe.All I had were chopped almonds and they worked beautifully.I used 1/2T each of olive oil and butter.The flavor of the parsnips shone.Next time, Creole.”

  • “Fantastic, Evie!Prepared, as the “white” vegetable for the Easter feast.I love nuts, and any vegetable recipe which includes nuts, gets my attention immediately.I used sliced, skinless, almonds which browned up beautifully with the parsnips at the “skillet” step 4. The aroma of cooking almonds and parsnips, and the addition of your suggested seasonings, made dinner guests come into the kitchen to “see what was cookin”….How gratifying it is when comments are made, such as “I do not usually like parsnips, but these are wonderful.”It makes me happy you shared your “spiced up parsnips”.Thank you Evie.”

  • “This was so good.I just have trouble converting the measures.LOLI’ll make this again.”
