Parsnips can be [[boiled]], [[roasted]] or used in [[:Category:Soup and stock recipes|stews, soups]] and casseroles. In some cases, the parsnip is boiled and the solid portions are removed from the soup or stew, leaving behind a more subtle flavour than the whole root and contributing starch to thicken the dish. Roasted parsnip is considered an essential part of Christmas dinner in some parts of the English speaking world and frequently features in the traditional Sunday Roast.

An unusual way to cook parsnips is to cut then into paper-thin strips with a [[peeler]] or [[mandolin]] and stir-fry them with walnut oil and then sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Try slicing them very thinly and [[frying]] with some nice fatty [[bacon]], throwing in a handful of [[pine nuts]] at the end. If you want to be conventional, cook them with or in the same way as [[carrots]]. Ideally keeping the pieces or slices the same size. | ||
