Crisp Fried Parsnips Recipes

CRISP FRIED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Scrape the parsnips, and cut into thin sticks about a quarter of an inch thick and three inches long. Discard the woody core of each parsnip.
• Drop the parsnips into a saucepan of boiling salted water, and cook until they are almost tender (about 3 minutes). Remove and pat dry with paper towels.
• Melt butter in a large frying pan. Sprinkle parsnips with salt and pepper, and add to the butter. Fry over medium heat until the parsnips are crisp and golden. If necessary, add more salt. Serve immediately.

BUTTERED FRIED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Wash, trim and scrape the parsnips.
• Cut into uniform pieces and boil in salted water, 25 to 30 minutes or until tender.
• Drain well, and let dry.
• Just before serving, heat the butter in a skillet and saute over moderate heat until light brown on all sides, letting the parsnips caramelize a little in their own sugar. It is best if you have a large enough pan that they can be cooked in a single layer.
• Season with the nutmeg, salt and pepper and serve in a warm vegetable dish, garnished with parsley.

BUTTER FRIED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan cover parsnips with water, cover and boil over medium-high heat until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• In a plastic bag combine flour and seasoning salt. Dip parsnips in butter and place them in the bag. Shake bag to coat parsnips with the seasoned flour.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter starts to sizzle, add parsnips. Cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown.
