Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 300 grams parsnips
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 60 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and parsnips, then chop them into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Carefully add the chopped carrots and parsnips to the boiling water. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are fork-tender.
Drain the cooked vegetables and allow them to sit in the colander for 2-3 minutes to release excess water.
Transfer the carrots and parsnips to a large mixing bowl or a food processor.
Add the unsalted butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the bowl or food processor.
Using a hand mixer, potato masher, or food processor, blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the whipped carrot snips into a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful side dish!
