How to make savory parsnip waffles:
The key to making these parsnip waffles quickly is a food processor! Instead of grating the parsnips by hand, use the shredding attachment of your food processor and you will have perfectly shredded parsnips in under 1 minute flat!
In a large bowl, mix together 2 eggs, garlic powder, dried thyme and salt.
Add the shredded parsnips to the egg mixture and stir well, making sure the parsnips are well coated.
Preheat the waffle iron, and cook ½ of the mixture for 5 minutes in a hot waffle iron. Repeat for the second waffle!

Health benefits of parsnips:
Parsnips are a root vegetable and are a relative of the carrot. They have cream colored skin and flesh and have a very distinct, almost nutty but sharp flavor, as they are also a cousin of parsley.
Parsnips often show up easily available in the grocery store during the fall/winter months, but are available in most stores year round! They are full of fiber (specifically soluble fiber) and are a great source of vitamin C (which is great for cold and flu season).
How to buy and store parsnips:
When you are in the store, watch out for parsnips that have started to go soft. Parsnips are often in a bulk bin in the refrigerated section, often around where the other root vegetables (turnips, beets, rutabagas, carrots) are sold.
Store parsnips in the refrigerator. I usually keep them in the vegetable crisper drawer and they last a month or more in the refrigerator.
How to use parsnips:
Be sure to peel the skin from the parsnip and cut off the top and the bottom ends.
Parsnips can be used in many ways including making parsnip fries, parsnip hash, parsnip mash, or used in stews or soups (like this Easy Beef Stew Instant Pot Recipe).
