Parsnips are usually under-utilized as they are not used in common everyday meals. Fresh parsnips have a great flavor, and they are highly nutritious. Here is an interesting way of consuming fresh parsnips. You can eat them as a lunch or serve them as appetizers at your party with the decadent carrot froth. When you roast parsnips, they develop a nutty flavor that complements the chipotle-carrot froth. The froth is strengthened with the help of xanthan gum which holds the air bubbles when the froth is whipped in a Galaxy Gas Whipped Cream Dispenser. That's how we've created the Galaxy Gas Nitrous Recipe: Roasted Parsnips with Chipotle-Carrot Froth! Chipotle in adobo sauce is a Mexican condiment that is mostly used for making delicious dips and sauces. It adds heat, body, and smokiness to dishes in which they are used. When combined with carrots, the chipotle peppers make a tantalizing froth tangy, sweet, and smoky. You can also serve it with nachos and chips.
