  • 1 lb parsnips
    1 large egg
    1/4 cup skim milk
    1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
    2 tbsps unsalted butter
    1 pinch of ground nutmeg (or fresh grated)
    1 pinch ground ginger
    salt and pepper to taste
    non-stick cooking spray

    *Needs a pastry bag and piping nozzle

    Clean and peel the parsnips, then split in half where they start to taper. Steam or boil until tender.

    Force the parsnips through a ricer into a large mixing bowl or use the medium blade of a food processer to get the job done.

    Add remaining ingredients to bowl and beat until well mixed.

    Preheat oven to 375 and spray a cooking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

    Fill a pastry bag with the parsnip mixture and then pipe onto baking sheet into 3 inch diameter circles swirling up to form a peak(roughly 1/4 cup of mix per)

    Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

    Makes 4-5 at 2 WW points per serving.
