Recipe View 16 mins Cook the parsnips until golden brown and slightly caramelized on one side, about 5-8 minutes. Flip the parsnips and cook for another 5-8 minutes, or until equally golden brown on the other side.

For a richer flavor, brown the butter slightly before adding the parsnips.
A cast-iron skillet works particularly well for achieving a nice sear on the parsnips.
Feel free to add other seasonings, such as a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, or a sprig of fresh thyme for an earthy note.
Serve immediately as a side dish to roasted meats, poultry, or fish.
