About Parsnips, raw
The parsnip is the carrot's pale, sweeter cousin — a cream-colored root with a distinctive nutty, almost honeyed flavor that deepens with roasting. A frost actually improves it, converting its starches to sugar, which is why parsnips are at their best in the depths of winter.
Starchier and more energy-dense than many vegetables, it's built around carbohydrate but brings a good amount of fiber, vitamin C, folate, vitamin K and potassium. That extra starch is what makes roasted parsnips so satisfyingly sweet and golden.
Roasted, puréed or dropped into a stew, parsnips bring a warm sweetness to winter cooking — a more characterful, slightly more calorific change from the everyday carrot or potato.
