Unlike its relative, the carrot, parsnips benefit from a long, slow cook to release their inherent
sweetness. Joined with sweet potatoes, they become a fragrant side dish that is hard to turn down,
while supplying some important health benefits: both vegetables are high in vitamins with good levels of
potassium and complex carbohydrates. But it’s the taste that matters, and this simple combination
delivers.
