Ingredients

• 4 large parsnips, peeled and halved lengthwise

• 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the napkins in the grill and stack firewood over them.
3. Ignite the napkins and let the grill heat up for about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Parsnips

1. Peel and slice the parsnips in half lengthwise for even cooking.
2. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with dill, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and honey.

Step 3: Grill the Parsnips

1. Place the parsnips on the outer perimeter of the Arteflame’s flat cooktop.
2. Brush generously with the Nordic herb butter.

Step 4: Finish and Serve

1. Once the parsnips are deeply golden and tender, remove them from the grill.
2. Drizzle with additional herb butter and serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra smokiness, use hardwoods like oak or cherry.
• Make sure to cook the parsnips closer to the center for faster caramelization, moving them outward as they near completion.
• Serve with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for a perfect finish.

Variations

• Swedish Mustard Parsnips: Add 1 tbsp of Swedish mustard to the butter blend for tangy depth.
• Honey Roasted Parsnips: Increase the honey to 2 tbsp for an extra caramelized glaze.
