I am going to have to make this! I have made cauliflower hummus and zucchini Humus but never parsnip. sounds interesting.
Karen Marino says
I haven’t tried parsnips but this is the second recipe I’ve seen with them that looks interesting. Vegetables were not a big part of meals growing up and I feel at a little disadvantage with figuring them out. Thansk for all your ideas!

I think this recipe sounds awesome! Hummus used to be favorite before “going paleo”, so I would love a good replacement. I also love parsnips, so I’m super excited about this recipe!
