I really enjoyed the variety of flavor in this dish. It was my first parsnip dish, which has now become one of my favorite veggies. I can't decide if it is a side or dessert.

This was good, but the parsnips would be better--and easier to eat-- if cut into disks rather than lengthwise (as is shown in the illustration for the recipe.

I gave this recipe an 'average' rating just because I'm kind of the fence about it. It's interesting but not going to be a staple in my household. Pears come out almost like a dessert - but with a kick. Those red pepper flakes give it a pretty unique warmth. If you're interested in trying something different, go for this, but I wouldn't serve it to great-grandma or little kiddos at any traditional-food affairs.
