Very tasty. <br /><br />Barb, I plant them just like carrots. And they grow similar to carrots too. In fact, my parsnips did much better than my carrots!<br /><br />Carole, thanks! Sounds like fun.

Sweeter than carrots, though I don't think they can be eaten raw. <br /><br />Nina, I tell her that every time I see her. :) I love roasted parsnips too. Yummy.<br /><br />Bettina, I agree it's better than carrots because of that. I grated mine with the King Kutter fine blade and they came out really sliver like. It was hard to tell they were there. I'll have to try a cake with beets; thanks for the idea. <br /><br />Sandra, they are amazingly easy to grow. They take awhile to germinate, but I had an especially good batch of volunteers. <br /><br />Su Ba, it's a good way to eat more veggies. :) I have to say though, that I've never seen white carrots!<br /><br />Sandy, I adore roasted veggies. And I can't wait to show you those Ziggy kids! In fact, I'm on my way to go check on her right now.

We usually, was them, cut them and roast them with carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, regualar potatoes, salt, pepper and a little olive oil. <br /><br />Thank you for posting this recipe, I will be borrowing this recipe when my parsnips come to harvest this season :-)<br /><br />Ziggy is going to surprise you with her delivery, she never follows a schedule. Can't wait to see Ziggy pictures with little<br />one(s) running around.Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-54158533510957605852013-04-26T20:26:34.912-04:002013-04-26T20:26:34.912-04:00I hadn't considered using parsnips in cake, bu...I hadn't considered using parsnips in cake, but it's a good idea. Around here most of the parsnips get eaten, leaving no surplus. But then I could always simply make the parsnip bed bigger, eh? <br /><br />I once fooled my hubby by using white carrots in the carrot cake. By not seeing orange (which he balks at), he ate the cake and thought it was ok. Bet I could fool him with the parsnips too. Thanks for the idea! <br /><br />...Su Ba<br />kaufarmer.blogspot.com Su Bahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125127467859054156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-72853861914071603552013-04-26T19:21:04.010-04:002013-04-26T19:21:04.010-04:00Leigh, this is wonderful and bet it tasted fabulou...Leigh, this is wonderful and bet it tasted fabulous.

I even tried a beetroot cake - quite nice too, though with chocolate in it the red colour didn't show! I wonder what you have to come up with next as a filler, to make up for lack of ziggy kids:) Woolly Bitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961632742998726155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-17427232640561972762013-04-26T17:54:01.158-04:002013-04-26T17:54:01.158-04:00Please tell Ziggy to hurry up!
