Whether pureed, roasted, glazed or whipped into soup, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/parsnip-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/parsnip-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parsnip recipes<\/a> are an excellent accompaniment to hearty meat dishes. And this creamy parsnip puree recipe is especially well-suited as a holiday side dish.<\/p>\n<p>The white root vegetable is native to Europe and Asia, and the seeds were brought to North America by European settlers. The plant has since escaped from gardens and now also grows wild along roadsides. As with carrots, parsnips taste sweeter after a frost, so they&#8217;ll taste extra delicious if you have the chance to buy them from local farmers in the winter.<\/p>\n<h2>Parsnip Puree Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Parsnips: <\/strong>Make sure to choose parsnips that are firm, not limp or shriveled. Like other root vegetables, parsnips store well and will keep for weeks when stashed in a bag in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-use-your-crisper-drawer\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-use-your-crisper-drawer\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crisper drawer<\/a> of the fridge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter: <\/strong>You can choose whatever kind of butter you have on hand for this puree of parsnip, whether salted or unsalted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic: <\/strong>Parsnips and cream are both mellow, so adding pungent garlic gives parsnip puree a much-needed flavor boost.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whole milk and heavy whipping cream: <\/strong>This recipe calls for both whole milk and heavy whipping cream to create the right consistency with the perfect amount of fat. They combine with the starchy parsnips to create a silky, pleasing mouthfeel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh thyme: <\/strong>Fresh thyme&#8217;s tiny leaves have big flavor. The herb is in the mint family, along with oregano and basil, but tastes quite distinct.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh rosemary: <\/strong>Rosemary is equally at home in savory dishes and desserts, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/rosemary-shortbread-cookies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/rosemary-shortbread-cookies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rosemary shortbread cookies<\/a>.

For a more savory flavor, consider grated Parmesan, an Alpine cheese such as Gruyere, or a sharp aged cheddar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it sweet: <\/strong>Parsnips are naturally sweet, and you can play up that quality with the addition of a little maple syrup or honey. You could also add warming spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg.
