If you're trying to stick to a whole-food or plant-based diet, this is the perfect high-carb meal for you. Root vegetables like beets, carrots, and potatoes are full of vitamins and minerals you don't find in breads, pastas, and other refined carbohydrates. Enjoy these root veggies with the fresh parsnip puree, or mix things up by using your favorite dressing or marinade instead. You can enjoy this vegetarian meal on its own, or pair with grilled steak or baked chicken for a savory and satisfying meal.
