Parsnips are a type of root vegetable, closely related to carrots but with a sweeter and earthier taste. They’re a great source of fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants and regulate blood sugar levels, improve immunity and enhance digestive health.
This mash is a super easy way to prepare them and works well as a side to a variety of recipes (like the sea bass I made last week!)
