Nutritional values

The essential oils of parsnips stimulate digestion and help with stomach problems. Oatmeal serves as an important source of iron in these vegetarian roasts. This trace element can be absorbed particularly well in combination with vitamin C. How convenient that the orange is a good source of vitamin C.

Varying allowed: Parsnip grated parsnip cakes taste just as good with carrots, or make a mixture of the two vegetables. Parsnips and carrot buffers then score extra points with an extra portion of beta-carotene. Instead of oranges, you can also add mango pieces to the dip. A colourful tomato salad tastes great with the roasts.
