Ginger Roasted ParsnipsI am SO excited we were able to get parsnips for the winter CSA this year! They are hard to grow in Alaska because they have an extremely long growing season and are often not worth the effort for many farmers. Rempel Family Farm grows great parsnips though, that get nice and sweet because of our cool fall temperatures. To experience the full flavor of this root, try a simple roasted recipe: https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/ginger-roasted-parsnips
Moroccan Style Beets, Carrots & TurnipsOne of the tastiest ways to eat turnips, & most root veggies in my opinion, is to roast them. You can always do a simple olive oil, salt & pepper mix, but this recipe adds a great twist with cardamom & lime: https://food52.com/recipes/63258-moroccan-style-roasted-beets-carrots-turnips
Beet, Kale & Quinoa SaladBeets are an under appreciated powerhouse of vitamins and other nutritional benefits. I love the combo of apples with beets, they add a little extra sweetness which balances out the earthiness of the beets wonderfully. https://www.theharvestkitchen.com/beet-kale-quinoa-salad/
German Apple PancakesOur orchardist Dan Elliot grows close to 100 different varieties of apples, about one variety to every tree, so you will mostly likely have several different kinds in your box. Each kind varies in taste and texture, but most will do well being baked (especially if they are too tart for your taste raw). Try this apple pancake recipe for a delicious weekend morning breakfast. https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/11/german-apple-pancake.html
