While reading this months Women’s Health magazine, there was an article talking about how to change up what veggies you eat, and one of them was…

parsnips.jpg

Parsnips!! Did you know that parsnips have 7 grams of fiber per cup? They also have a lot of Vitamin C and folate PLUS 40% of Vitamin K which is a hard to get nutrient that researchers believe can improve bone health and control blood sugar.

A recipe they suggested was making parsnip cakes.

Ingredients:

1 pound peeled and grated parsnips
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
3 eggs
1/4 fat free milk
Season to taste with pepper, salt and nutmeg

Directions:

Combine all the ingredients and spoon each pancake onto a skillet lightly coated with vegetable oil. Brown on both sides.

Another suggestion for adding parsnips into your diet is to use them like carrots, such as in stir fry’s or in salads.

Have you tried parsnips before??
