Skillet Caramelized Parsnips Recipes

CARAMELIZED ROASTED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• In a large heavy ovenproof frying pan, melt butter over medium heat, and saute parnsnips with salt, pepper, and sugar until lightly brown, about two minutes.
• Add a half cup of chicken broth and place pan in oven preheated to 350 degrees F for 15 minutes or until tender. If pan juices evaporates add more broth.
• Serve, seasoned with more pepper.

CARAMELIZED ROASTED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large roasting pan; whisk until incorporated. Add parsnips; toss. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder; toss. Cover with foil; bake 20 minutes.
• Remove foil; stir. Roast parsnips, uncovered, until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Stir; adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

SKILLET CARAMELIZED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• After peeling the parsnips, cut them into sticks the size of your pinkie finger.
• Dry off any moisture with a paper towel or sacking cloth.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat then add the parsnips, tossing to coat.
• Sprinkle the parsnips with the nutmeg.
• Cover the skillet tightly with a lid and cook the parsnips over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes or until the parsnips reach a golden brown color. All stoves are different so if it looks like the parsnips may be cooking too quickly, lower the heat.
• Add the water, place the lid back on the skillet and steam until the water has evaporated and the parsnips are golden, tender and caramelized.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Serve immediately.

MOSCATEL-GLAZED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Heat sugar in center of a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it starts to melt. Cook, tilting skillet occasionally so sugar melts evenly, until golden brown. Stir in butter, then add parsnips and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add vinegar, water, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until parsnips are just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove lid and simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to a glaze and parsnips are caramelized, about 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PORK ROAST WITH CARAMELIZED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coarsely grind 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the fennel seeds, orange zest, and chopped rosemary in a mini chopper or a spice grinder. Rub spice mixture all over pork, and insert rosemary sprig under twine. Transfer to a large, heavy ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) or a roasting pan.
• Roast pork for 20 minutes. Toss parsnips with oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt; arrange around pork. Roast for 20 minutes. Stir parsnips. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of pork reaches 140 degrees, about 15 minutes more. Transfer pork and parsnips to platter, and let pork rest for 10 minutes before untying and slicing. (If parsnips are not uniformly golden, return to oven for 5 minutes while pork rests.)

GRAMA'S PEPPERY PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Place the parsnips into a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat, and simmer until parsnips are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well, pat the parsnip pieces dry with paper towels, and set aside.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, and place the parsnips into the hot butter in an even layer. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper (I use quite a bit). Cook parsnips until lightly golden brown on both sides, 5 to 8 minutes per side.

MASHED POTATOES AND PARSNIPS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until golden, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Mix in rosemary. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.)
• Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add parsnips and potatoes; boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well. Return vegetables to pot; mash. Add warm milk and 4 1/2 tablespoons butter; stir until smooth. Stir in onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover; chill. Rewarm over medium-high heat, stirring frequently and adding more milk if too dry.)

SALTED CARAMEL PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Halve the parsnips, then cut the thicker end in two lengthways. Boil for 5 mins, then drain well and leave to steam-dry for a few mins. Meanwhile, pour the oil into a shallow roasting tin or a lipped baking tray and heat in the oven for 3 mins.
• Remove the tin from the oven and carefully add the parsnips to the hot oil. Turn them to coat, and make sure they aren't overcrowded (otherwise they won't crisp up). Roast for 30-35 mins or until golden and crisp, turning them halfway through the cooking time.
• About 10 mins before the parsnips are ready, tip the sugar and 2 tbsp water into a small frying pan. Heat very gently until the sugar has dissolved. Turn up the heat and bring the liquid to the boil. Measure 3½ tbsp cold water into a jug. Keep swirling the pan around until the sugar reaches a rich, dark-reddish caramel colour, then remove from the heat. Stand well back and add the water (it will splutter!). Return to the heat, add the butter and the salt, and stir to remove any lumps. The caramel should be runny, so add a splash more water if needed. Pile the parsnips into a serving dish, then drizzle over the salted caramel.

MAPLE-GLAZED PARSNIPS ON KALE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Add parsnips and maple syrup. Cook, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until syrup is almost evaporated and parsnips are caramelized, stirring frequently., Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Add shallot; cook for 4-5 minutes or until tender. Add kale; sprinkle with salt. Cook and stir for 3-5 minutes or until slightly wilted. Add cider; reduce heat to low. Cover and steam for 5 minutes. , To serve, spoon kale onto a large plate; top with parsnips.
