Grilled Parsnips with Maple Spice Butter
These sweetly spiced parsnips are an easy side dish recipe that's cooked on the grill, making it perfect for your holiday meal.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound (454 g) parsnips (6 to 7 medium) peeled and cut into ¾-inch-thick batons
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high (375°F to 400°F | 190°C to 200°C).
- Place the parsnips in a large bowl and drizzle with the oil. Toss to coat, then season with salt and pepper and toss again. Arrange the parsnips in a single layer on a grill tray.
- Grill until the parsnips are beginning to soften, turning once, about 10 minutes.
- While the parsnips are grilling, mix the melted butter, maple syrup, ginger, and nutmeg together in a small bowl.
- Brush the maple butter over the parsnips, turning to coat them, and continue grilling until they are softened and beginning to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
- Cut them evenly--Cut your parsnips into even sized pieces so that they are all finished cooking at the same time.
- Use a grill tray--I highly recommend using a grill tray here to prevent the pieces from falling through the grill grate. The grill tray also makes quick work of transferring the vegetables to and from the grill.
- Dietary--This recipe is suitable for gluten free and vegetarian diets.
