Parsnips haven’t been trendy for a long time. Too bad. There are so many ways to prepare them, but this is our favorite way to serve them: I shave them, but not the core, with a vegetable peeler and fry them in olive oil. Guests love these and they are usually the first thing eaten on the plate—with ooohs, ahhhhs, and squeals. I like the noises that go with this dish so I have named it “Noisy Parsnips.”
I am starting the cool-season veggies now, and also transplanting melons, squash, and pumpkins into the garden today. This is our overlapping season and soon I will be ripping out perfectly good warm-season veggies to make space for those we grow in our cool season. It breaks my heart! —Leslie Doyle, Las Vegas, Nevada
