- 2 lb.
parsnips, peeled and cut into 2" pieces
- 3 Tbsp.
extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
- 1
head garlic
- 3/4 cup
milk
- 4 Tbsp.
butter
- 2 tsp.
thyme leaves
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 400°. Place parsnips on a large baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cut off top of garlic head and drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Wrap tightly in foil and place on a baking sheet with parsnips. Bake until parsnips are very tender, 40 minutes. Garlic should be golden and very soft; if not, place back in oven and continue to bake another 15 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
- Step 2Place parsnips into a large bowl or food processor. Squeeze each clove of garlic into bowl with parsnips. Add milk, butter, and thyme and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
