Fantastic, Evie! Prepared, as the "white" vegetable for the Easter feast. I love nuts, and any vegetable recipe which includes nuts, gets my attention immediately. I used sliced, skinless, almonds which browned up beautifully with the parsnips at the "skillet" step 4. The aroma of cooking almonds and parsnips, and the addition of your suggested seasonings, made dinner guests come into the kitchen to "see what was cookin".... How gratifying it is when comments are made, such as "I do not usually like parsnips, but these are wonderful." It makes me happy you shared your "spiced up parsnips". Thank you Evie.
