Mashed parsnips are a delicious accompaniment to a roast dinner, whether at Christmas time or any other time of year. My recipe for creamy mashed parsnips is suitable for vegans and is so moreish.
Peel your parsnips.* Chop into bite sized pieces and place in a pan of water.
Bring to the boil and cook until soft.
Drain well and return to the pan.
Add the milk, the butter, the thyme and nutmeg to the cooked parsnips. Mash well until smooth.
Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Notes
If your parsnips are large you will need to cut out the thick woody core as well- this isn’t necessary for young or baby parsnips. See how to roast parsnips for more information about cutting parsnips.
