Creamy Parsnip Puree

Everybody will fall in love with this dreamy, creamy parsnip purée! Made with roasted parsnips and a little cream, this is absolutely one of my favorite ways to cook parsnips!
If you are a mashed potato purist, hear me out, because I’m betting that this outrageously creamy parsnip purée will hold its own on a table next to your favorite mashed potatoes any day.
Parsnips are an underrated veggie in the US, something I hope this recipe helps remedy soon! If you are unfamiliar with them, think of carrot’s sweetness matched with potato’s creaminess, and you’ve got a parsnip. I love them, and this purée is my favorite way to serve them. I also love this roasted carrots and parsnips, but that’s for another day!
