parsnips
Cream-colored root vegetables
Parsnips are root vegetables related to carrots, with cream-colored flesh and a sweet, earthy flavor that intensifies when roasted.
They resemble pale, thick carrots and are typically harvested after frost, which converts their starches to sugars: roasted parsnips with honey glaze.
Common in soups, stews, and as a side dish.
