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
Directions
Step 1
Peel the parsnips and trim the ends. Cut them into even-sized batons, roughly 1 cm thick.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.
Step 4
Add the fresh sage leaves to the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes until crispy and fragrant.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring gently to combine.
Step 7
Transfer the parsnips to a serving dish and garnish with the crispy sage leaves.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy!
