For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. A touch of grated ginger or a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful kick to the glaze. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped fresh parsley for an elegant presentation.
Elevate the humble parsnip with this dazzling glaze, transforming earthy roots into a sweet and savory symphony of flavor. A delightful side dish that's both elegant and easy to prepare.
Place the prepared parsnips in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently until the parsnips are fork-tender, approximately 15 minutes.
Drain the parsnips thoroughly and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, cut the parsnips into batons, roughly 2 1/2 inches in length.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and stir until it begins to dissolve and caramelize slightly.
Add the parsnip batons to the skillet and toss gently to coat them evenly with the butter and sugar mixture. Sauté for about 3 minutes, allowing the parsnips to develop a slight golden-brown color.
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the parsnips and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has been absorbed and the parsnips are beautifully glazed, approximately 5 minutes. Ensure the sauce doesn't burn by reducing heat if necessary.
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. A touch of grated ginger or a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful kick to the glaze. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped fresh parsley for an elegant presentation.

Jan 30, 2025I found that the parsnips stuck to my pan a bit. Next time I will use a non-stick skillet.
