Glazed parsnips with butter, brown sugar & rosemary.

Ingredients

    Directions

    Irish Glazed Parsnips begin with a simple yet irresistible blend of butter, brown sugar, and a splash of broth that transforms into a glossy, sweet‑savory glaze. A hint of rosemary brings gentle herbal warmth, perfectly complementing the parsnips’ natural sweetness. This classic Irish dish has been a rustic favorite for generations, especially in the colder months when hearty root vegetables were a staple. Simple, cozy, and full of tradition, these glazed parsnips add a touch of old‑world Irish charm to any table.

    Step1

    Just harvested our winter crop of parsnips. Scrub, peel, and cut them into your preferred sizes—we went with pieces about 2-3 inches long. Fill a medium saucepan with water, add a teaspoon of salt, and bring the cleaned parsnips to a boil. Let them cook for 10 minutes.

    Step2

    Drain the parsnips, then rinse and dry the pan. Return the pan to the stove and melt the butter with the brown sugar.

    Step3

    Add the parsnips back in and toss them gently until they’re fully coated in the buttery brown‑sugar glaze.

    Step4

    Mix the vegetable broth with the ground rosemary, then pour it into the saucepan. Cook over medium‑low heat, stirring occasionally, until the parsnips are completely tender — a toothpick should slide in with no resistance — and the liquid has reduced into a thick, glossy glaze. Serve with freshly cut parsley.

    Step5

    Enjoy!
