Prep Parsnips

2

Steam in Microwave

Cover dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap and microwave on high for 4 minutes until parsnips are fork tender. Drain any remaining water.

3

Add Glaze and Finish

Add butter, honey, and thyme to the hot parsnips and toss to coat. Microwave uncovered for 1 more minute until glaze becomes sticky and shiny.

Substitutions
