Do You Have To Boil Parsnips Before Roasting?
It is not necessary to boil parsnips before roasting them, but some people prefer to do so to soften the texture and enhance the flavor.Boiling also reduces the cooking time and ensures that the parsnips are cooked evenly. However, you can skip the boiling step and roast the parsnips straightaway with oil and spices to get a crispy, caramelized exterior and a tender interior. It depends on personal preference and the recipe you are following.
