"A nice change from mashed potatoes. If you don't have tahini, use sesame oil."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Peel sweet potatoes and parsnips; cut into chunks.

Step 2

Place in large saucepan and just cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until just soft, not mushy! (about 10 minutes).

Step 3

Drain; place in food processor and puree.

Step 4

Put puree back into saucepan; mix in the cumin and tahini (or oil). Reheat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Serve.

OH YUM! Love both of these veggies and this was a hit at dinner. I halved the recipe and used the tahini. I did add a wee bit of unsalted butter. This will be made for Thanksgiving. Thank you Mikekey for sharing! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.

I would never have thought to combine parsnips and sweet potato but they are wonderful partners. The cumin gives them a nice lift. I made the recipe early in the day, placed it in an oven proof dish and 30 minutes before dinner I put it in a 375 oven covered for 25 minutes - perfect. Thanks Mikekey for another delicious recipe

I don't often use parsnips, but did here, & they combined very nicely with the sweet potatoes! I did use sesame oil instead of the tahini & will be making these again! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
