    Oven Roasted Potatoes and Parsnips

    Published Jan 19, 2010

    oven roasted potatoes and a spatula
    Making delicious roasted potatoes is so easy, there is really no excuse for the pale, bland, flaccid wedges you often find when brunching out. The roots are simply cut, tossed with olive oil and salt, and ignored in the oven for an hour until they develop a crunchy crust and soft interior.

    shot of parsnips
    The last time I made these, I had some parsnips leftover from a soup recipe, and threw them in with the potatoes. The result surprised me. Roasted parsnips taste incredibly sweet with a uniquely earthy bite, adding a welcome change from the usual spud suspects (spudspects?). I usually add some fresh rosemary needles and whole cloves of garlic to the mix, but this time I tossed in a bit of curry powder and smoked paprika instead. The spices, staining the roots a warm golden color, melded together to form a deliciously enigmatic seasoning, making them the perfect accompaniment to any number of dishes, from poached eggs to ratatouille to spinach and goat cheese souffle to any meat or fish dish. Serve with a dollop of creme fraiche, sauce gribiche, romesco, or whole milk yogurt flavored with mashed garlic, mint and cilantro.

    Don't leave these cooling on the rack for too long, or you may be surprised when these roots mysteriously disappear, one by one, off the baking sheet without ever making it to the table...

    Cherry recipe du jour because #cherryseason: roast Cherry recipe du jour because #cherryseason: roasted cherry ice cream sandwiches with GF double chocolate buckwheat cookies 😋

Here fresh cherries are roasted in sugar and bourbon, pitted and chopped, and mixed with more bourbon. This process releases water and condenses flavor, making a chunky compote that stays soft when frozen into a vanilla ice cream base. 

When sandwiched between these super-chocolatey cookies, the effect is downright addictive. And just the thing for the warm weather we’re currently having in California!☀️

Bojon appétit!

This French baked custard studded with juicy cherries infused with brandy or whiskey sits somewhere between a dutch baby and a pudding cake. Fresh cherries meet vanilla scented almond flour batter in this easy peasy summer dessert. Bliss!

For dairy-free, replace the milk and cream with full-fat coconut milk and use vegan butter.

    It’s cherry season in California so I’m sharin It’s cherry season in California so I’m sharing a few favorite ways to use them from TBG this week. 🍒

Up first: tart cherry Eton mess with poppyseed almond meringues

These lightly caramelized meringues have a delightful crunch against tangy whipped yogurt and tart cherry compote. Pretty much my dream dessert right here! 

Use sweet cherries if sour cherries aren’t available. Use rich coconut yogurt instead of dairy to make this DF.

*sponsored

These look fancy, but they're actually super simple to make with vanilla-flecked brown butter and a trio of @bobsredmill GF flours that work together to create a dreamy texture. Warm from the oven, these are crispy on the outside with tender middles bursting with butterscotch notes. 

Whip up a batch in under an hour to feel like you just stepped into a posh Parisian patisserie.

    Sharing this green goddess potato salad in honor o Sharing this green goddess potato salad in honor of #earthday (which is literally every day because this is where most of us spend every second of our lives!) 

At the start of the pandemic, Jay and I started going hiking and forest bathing every week. We always pack lots of snacks and take plenty of time to immerse ourselves in our surroundings. We often spend hours sitting on a blanket, watching the birds and lizards, the way the light plays off of the water, listening to the sound of the breeze and birdsong. I guess it’s actually closer to extreme picnicking than hiking! 

This herbaceous potato salad is one of our favorite lunches to pack. It has protein from jammy boiled eggs, crunchy veggies, creamy potatoes, and a kicky dressing. 

Throw some in a to-go container packed in a cooler and you’ll have a nourishing meal anywhere you like. 

Enjoy this beautiful planet! 🌏🌲🍃
