Ingredients
Scale
680 grams parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala), peeled, cored, and chopped
1 small onion, peeled and chopped
240 ml low-sodium vegetable or chicken stock
1 to 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Pinch cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Prep the parsnips and apples: peel, core, and cut into even 1-inch pieces so they cook at the same rate (about 20–25 minutes total).
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. If using onion, add it and sauté 3–4 minutes until translucent and fragrant, not brown.
Add parsnips and apples to the pot. Sauté 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edges start to look glossy.
Pour in the stock. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 15–20 minutes, until the parsnips are very tender and the apples are breaking down.
Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth, or transfer to a blender in batches. Add more stock a splash at a time to reach your preferred consistency.
Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. If you love warmth, stir in a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. Serve warm.
Notes
A silky, comforting parsnip purée with apples to brighten the flavor, a perfect, cozy side dish for weeknights or show-stopping dinners.
