• 10 parsnips, peeled and cubed
• 1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• 0.25 cup butter
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste

Steps

2. Pour milk into a large pot over medium-low heat; bring to a simmer. Add parsnips and salt. Cover and cook until parsnips are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
3. Drain parsnips, reserving warm milk in a separate container.
