How to Make Creamy Garlic & Parsnip Puree
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap whole garlic bulbs in foil and roast them for 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelized.
  2. Peel and chop the parsnips into even-sized chunks.
  3. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the chopped parsnips. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Drain the parsnips well, then squeeze the roasted garlic into the pot. Add in the butter and heavy cream. Blend until velvety and smooth.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to your liking, and serve warm with optional garnishes.
