    How do you wash your parsnips? :confused:

    I spent 30 min scrubbing a few parsnips with a soft brush and water so I could roast them with the skin on. Does anyone have an easier way or am I just been lazy? :confused:

    I peel them for boiling or mashing but for roasting it's best to keep the skin on. Just like carrots. Oh well back to the scrubbing brush! :rolleyes:
