Trio of Mashed Roots (Parsnip, Turnip and Carrot)

Ingredients

• 6 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 4 large parsnips, peeled and chopped
• 2 turnips, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Place carrots, parsnips, and turnips into a pot and cover with cold, lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until a fork easily breaks apart the vegetables, about 25 minutes; drain. Return vegetables to the pot.

Mix butter, cream, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper into vegetables; roughly mash together with a potato masher until vegetables are broken down but individual colors are still visible.
