To The Root: Roasted Parsnips With Hazelnuts & Feta
Everyone needs as many great vegetable cookbooks as they can find in their kitchen library. The Vegetable, a collaboration between Brooklyn- and Australian-based recipe developers and food stylists Caroline Griffiths and Vicki Valsamis, is one of the essentials. If you're looking for a trusty cache of go-to vegetable dishes, this is a must-buy. If you've never had roasted parsnips with hazelnuts and feta — two perfect accoutrements — there's no time like the present.
If you can't find baby parsnips, larger parsnips cut lengthways into quarters will do the trick. The nuttiness of parsnips and hazelnuts pair very well together.
