Heavenly Coconut Parsnip Crunch






This is a sort of nomad dish until I figure out just how to better present this divine flavor combination ( I will!!) ... but I HAD to share it here because it is about as dreamy as Patrick Swayze was in his day.  And it's so quick to make, it's a fabulous mid-afternoon or evening sweet snack.  You'll forget you're eating vegetables!

 HEAVENLY COCONUT PARSNIP CRUNCH
INGREDIENTS:
-1lb parsnips, peeled & cut into bite-size pieces (5cups)
-1/5 tsp  NOW stevia powder
-1/4 tsp sea salt
-6TB unsweetened shredded coconut
-1/2c toasted almonds 

PREPARATION:
-Add 1/2 cup of water to a medium pot, cover and place on high heat, bringing to a boil.

-Add parsnips to pot, cover and steam on high heat for approximately 4 minutes.  (They are done when you can pierce with a fork but are still firm.)

-In a small bowl, mix coconut, salt and stevia.

-Using oven mitts, strain water from pot (I use the lid and pour the sweet water into a cup and drink it!) then sprinkle coconut mixture and almonds evenly over parsnips.  Cover pot and shake with the lid on to mix well.  

-Serves 3-4. (Yields approximately 5 cups.)
