While reading this months Women’s Health magazine, there was an article talking about how to change up what veggies you eat, and one of them was…

parsnips.jpg

Parsnips!! Did you know that parsnips have 7 grams of fiber per cup? They also have a lot of Vitamin C and folate PLUS 40% of Vitamin K which is a hard to get nutrient that researchers believe can improve bone health and control blood sugar.

A recipe they suggested was making parsnip cakes.

Ingredients:

1 pound peeled and grated parsnips
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
3 eggs
1/4 fat free milk
Season to taste with pepper, salt and nutmeg

Directions:

Combine all the ingredients and spoon each pancake onto a skillet lightly coated with vegetable oil. Brown on both sides.

Another suggestion for adding parsnips into your diet is to use them like carrots, such as in stir fry’s or in salads.

Have you tried parsnips before??

  • Yay, congrats to the winners! I still think I’m going to buy some to give a try, since I’m not really a fan of milk!

    My aunt is from England, so she introduced parsnips to me when I was younger. I’ve cooked with them a few times, adding them to soups and stews. I love the pancake idea! Rachael Ray calls them “carrots with attitude” b/c they have a little bite to them!

    Thanks for the shout out! 🙂

  • Never tried parsnips before…But I saw a recipe of a gratin with that in Cooking Light! 🙂

    YAY! I won!!! Again! Haha, I seem to be so lucky with you and your sister! >.

  • thanks for the tip!!! i will definitely be adding parsnips to my shopping list and searching for some good recipes.

  • I’ve never had parsnips before! There are so many different foods out there that I want to try.
