Roasted Mashed Parsnips
2 pounds parsnips, peeled and cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 to 1ВЅ cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons ghee
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Preheat the oven to 400В°F.
- Place the parsnips on a sheet pan and drizzle with the olive oil, using your hands to evenly coat them. Roast the parsnips in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are somewhat caramelized around the edges, turning them over midway through cooking.
- Transfer the parsnips to a food processor, along with half of the chicken stock and the ghee. Puree and check the consistency. If you prefer a thinner puree, add more chicken stock to achieve your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
NOTE: If you really want to emphasize the sweetness of the parsnips, add some cinnamon or nutmeg to the puree.
