You could slice them into meal ready slices and freeze them like we do


Do you blanch them first?


I'd be interested too. We've never frozen parsnips, but in general I
wonder whether blanching is always as important as often stated. It's
certainly a nuisance when you have a large crop to be frozen.

That's why I raised the question. We seem to feel that blanching is not the
'be all and do all' in freezing.
