Roasted Parsnips



My friend S was telling me she had some delicious roasted parsnips recently so I decided to roast some too along with some carrots. They are delicious and sweet. Unfortunately they have a high glycemic index so they are not good for diabetics, as are a lot of root vegetables such as potatoes and beets. 

I roasted these vegetables for 20 minutes at 400F in the oven, seasoned with some olive oil, oregano, onions, garlic, salt and pepper.

Looks good :) I love parsnips, I usually put them in the slow cooker with other veggies for a stew.

I love roasted veggies! Just found a new to me phrase now as I looked for the word parsnips in German
Fine words butter no parsnips.

I didn't know potatoes are bad for diabetics. Interesting.

We are eating lots of baked pumpkin at the moment. We have cut down on potatoes and all other root crops as well as carbs.

Yes Roasted Parsnips are delicious ... but for those who are diabetic the carb count should always be taken into account.

All the best Jan

There is new science out there about carbs and blood sugar. Some interesting studies. Goes deeper than simple carb counting. Love the bake though. Very yum.
