I've never cooked these before and picked up a few at the store. Anyone have any tips or ideas?
TIA

wash and trim parsnips, boil in salted water for 25-30 minutes, drain.

Yes, and it's very good. Give it a try.

parboil parsnips and carrots and then dice into small cubes. Then season and caramelize in a black iron skillet using oil. Excellent.

I have pureed them adn put seared scallops on top. Adds some interest to a boring scallop.

Raw,they kind of taste like a carrot,but cooked they are very starchy. I peel and blanch and saute them down with mustard greens.

I've only had them in soup, where they have almost a cinnamon flavor. Almost like a spicy and not-so-sweet carrot, maybe. But they don't overpower the soup, just give it a little flavor.

Dice them and coat in olive oil, fresh ground black pepper, kosher salt and a little paprika (smoked if you have it). Make a single layer on a baking sheet and throw in the oven at 475 for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle a little more kosher salt across the top to give them that salty crunch. Back in the oven to your likeness. I like my nearly burnt, so I probably do another 15 minutes or so.
