You can cook and mash them with potatoes. You can also slice them and
layer them with potatoes in scalloped potatoes. (Parsnips are also good
this way.)
I also sometimes make a root vegetable stew: carrots, parsnips, onion (or
leeks), turnips or rutabagas, potatoes, celeriac (celery root). Peel
vegetables, cut all in stew-sized pieces and put in stew pot. Add
water or broth (maybe also 1/2 cup white wine). Add a bay leaf or two,
chopped parsley, marjoram. Cook until vegetables are tender. Add salt
and pepper to taste. Serve with a loaf of good bread.
