🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 4 medium-sized parsnips
• 12 baby onions
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup water

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Peel the parsnips and cut them into evenly sized batons, approximately 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.

2. Peel the baby onions by blanching them in boiling water for 1 minute, then transferring them to an ice bath. The skins should easily slip off.

3. In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

4. Add the parsnips and baby onions to the skillet. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to become golden and tender.

5. Drizzle the honey over the vegetables and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and thyme sprigs.

6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet. Cover and let the vegetables steam for 5-7 minutes until they are fork-tender.

7. Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the liquid to evaporate and the vegetables to caramelize, stirring gently to avoid breaking them.

8. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

9. Transfer the caramelized parsnips and baby onions to a serving platter, garnish with extra thyme if desired, and serve warm.
