Roasted Garlic and Parsnip Mash

Print Recipe

A velvety mash of roasted garlic and sweet parsnips blended with butter and cream for a flavorful twist on traditional mashed potatoes perfect for cozy dinners or holiday feasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs parsnips, peeled and chopped
  • 1 head of garlic
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or milk for lighter texture)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme or chives, for garnish

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • 2. Slice the top off the head of garlic to expose cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 35–40 minutes until soft.
  • 3. Meanwhile, place chopped parsnips in a pot, cover with salted water, and boil until tender, about 15 minutes.
  • 4. Drain parsnips and return to pot.
  • 5. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves into the pot and add butter and cream.
  • 6. Mash until smooth using a masher or hand blender. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • 7. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra depth, replace half the cream with chicken or vegetable broth.
  • Try mixing in a few roasted potatoes for a lighter flavor.
  • This mash pairs beautifully with roasted meats or holiday turkey.
