This is a colorful root vegetable side packed with nutritional value and fiber. Came up with this side dish for a winter pork dinner. Its a great way to get folks to try parsnips, even kids like this one.
Peel and slice the yam into 1/8” pieces, similar in size to the parsnips (as possible).
Layer the yams and parsnips. For a pretty presentation, try alternating color rows of each.
In a measuring cup, make a glaze out of the oleo, OJ, zest, cinnamon and sugar. Mix until well dissolved. Drizzle the glaze over the yam/parsnip mix – cover and bake @ 350 for 40-45 minutes.
