Thank you Becky Striepe from Glue and Glitter for reviewing Vegan Under Pressure and featuring Maple and Vinegar Braised Parsnips recipe and using them in your Quinoa Buddha Bowl. The parsnip recipe can be found below and on page 127 of Vegan Under Pressure.
Maple and Vinegar Braised Parsnips – Vegan Under Pressure
Parsnips look like white carrots but they don’t really taste the. They are starchier and maybe even sweeter in an earthy, nutty way. Most people have tried them in soup but they are great in this simple sweet-and-sour side dish. Be sure that the parsnips are cooked through but don’t let them get mushy.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds parsnips all about the same size, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch slices on the diagonal (The two giant parsnips pictured above were just over 1 1/2 pounds.)
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or less to taste
- freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Add the parsnips, vegetable broth and vinegar to the pressure cooker.
- Bring to high pressure. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Quick release the pressure. Open the lid, carefully tilting it away from you.
- Check to see that the parsnips are cooked through. If not and they need more liquid, add a few more tablespoons of broth or water. Bring back to high pressure for 1 minute.
- Quick release the pressure and stir in the maple syrup. Transfer to a bowl.

Thanks for this recipe Jill. Parsnips are one of our favorites. I like to add some cut up carrots as well. It’s a great combination. I have them in my IP right now and will be taking them to our Vegan/Vegetarian Potluck tonight 🙂
This looks amazing! What else do you have in the bowl? YUM!!
I didn’t make the bowl but do agree that it looks amazing. I am guessing that there is sauteed kale, quinoa, avocado and cashews. These parsnips are a great addition to any bowl to give a sweet and savory punch.
