Sweet and Gooey Parsnips Recipe

Scrape or peel the parsnips , then cut them into sticks about the size of your little finger. Dry well with paper toweling.

In a heavy 10-inch skillet, melt the butter; then add the parsnips, shaking to coat. Sprinkle with nutmeg . Cover tightly and saute on medium heat for about 5 to 10 minutes. The parsnips should be tender and gooey, and slightly carmelized. Add salt and pepper to taste.
