Maple Glazed Parsnips

Use a high-quality maple syrup for the glaze. It can’t be that butter-flavored fake syrup stuff, folks.

Ingredients:
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon mustard
2 teaspoons butter
5 1/2 cups parsnips, raw and sliced
3 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash of black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley

Method:
1. Combine the maple syrup and mustard in a bowl; stir well and set aside.

2. Coat a large, nonstick skillet with cooking spray; add butter, and place over medium heat until butter melts.

3. Add the parsnips and the next 3 ingredients. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.

4. Add syrup and cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat for 1 minute or until lightly glazed, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; sprinkle with parsley and serve.
