Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams parsnips
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 10 leaves fresh sage leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the parsnips and trim the ends. Cut them into even-sized batons, roughly 1 cm thick.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the parsnips and simmer for 6–8 minutes, or until just tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.
Add the fresh sage leaves to the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes until crispy and fragrant.
Toss the drained parsnips into the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the sage butter. Cook for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the parsnips are golden and lightly caramelized.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring gently to combine.
Transfer the parsnips to a serving dish and garnish with the crispy sage leaves.
Serve warm and enjoy!
