Sweet Potato Parsnip Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine 5 tablespoons olive oil, the onion, leeks, 2 teaspoons thyme, a big pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large pot or Dutch oven. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, about 10 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes, parsnips, chicken broth, 3 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt and the cayenne. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes and parsnips are tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring, until browned and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the bacon and drippings to a large bowl.
• Add the bread, cheese and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the bacon and drippings. Season with salt and pepper and toss, then spread out on the prepared baking sheet. Bake, tossing once or twice, until toasted and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, puree the soup with an immersion blender until smooth (or puree in batches in a regular blender). Season with salt and more cayenne to taste. Thin with water as needed. Divide the soup among bowls. Top with a swirl of creme fraiche, the croutons and the remaining 2 teaspoons thyme.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 8x4-inch loaf pan with shortening or cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In medium bowl, mix brown sugar, oil, milk, vanilla and eggs. Add egg mixture to flour mixture; stir gently until dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in shredded sweet potato and parsnips. Pour batter into pan.
• Bake 1 hour 10 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; run knife around edges of pan to loosen loaf. Remove from pan to cooling rack; cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave frosting uncovered on High 10 to 20 seconds or until melted. Spoon over loaf. Sprinkle with pecans.

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potatoes and parsnips, and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Combine the sweet potato and parsnip slices, cream, butter, salt and half of the horseradish in a 3- or 4-quart saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened. This will take about 40 to 50 minutes.
• Remove from heat and mash with a potato masher to desired texture. Stir in half of remaining horseradish, making sure to incorporate well. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, additional horseradish and/or sweetener if needed. Serve hot.

Steps:
