I am sure that they freeze well...
Otherwise, I did a nice dish, cooking them in a covered pan with just a thingy of butter so they sweat in their own juices, adding salt pepper and thyme. Then I add some honey at the last minute and let them caramelise a little. Count about 20 minutes cooking time.

2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France:

I've got loads of parsnip balls - sortov like stuffing balls, but...er...parsnip ::) - in my freezer. Easy to make, freeze a treat & I pull a few out whenever...
Chunk peeled 'snips & cook in salted boiling water till tender.Drain, return to pan & mash. Add finely chopped rosemary or whichever other fresh herb (sage is nice) you like. Add grated cheddar & some parmesan. Mix all together. Sautee a large finely chopped onion in butter+oil , pour over the 'snip mix & incorporate. Then take spoonfuls of the mix, put on a baking tray & bake until they've formed a crust.Might have to flip them over & bake the underside. You can use this mix to make a 'snip loaf too..I buttered the loaf tin & coated with fine seasoned breadcrumbs & that was nice, too.

thanks for that!
I never think about freezing root veg. will do that with some
I'll try the parsnip balls definitely
can't make the crisps - the centres are a bit woody - polo crisps maybe
whenever i try something special with parsnip - it goes a funny colour (i forget the lemon juice)

As hubby dug up my whole crop in one go I peeled them all, par boiled them (as you would before roasting) cooled them and then froze them in 2 person portions (frozen in 1 layer, not all bunched up). When I am doing a roast dinner I simply chuck the frozen nips in the oven on a baking tray or tin - they take the same amount of time as roast spuds. Way better than aunt bessies!
