How to Make Parsnip And Bacon Cake Served With A Honey Mustard Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and grate the parsnips. Cook bacon until crispy, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon fat. Crumble bacon and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine grated parsnips, crumbled bacon, egg, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. If using, add optional spices here.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of reserved bacon fat to the parsnip mixture. Mix well to combine.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a greased 8-inch baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
  7. While the cake is baking, whisk together honey, mustard, and a splash of water or lemon juice to create your honey mustard sauce. Adjust to your preferred taste.
  8. Let the parsnip cake rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Drizzle generously with the honey mustard sauce and serve with a fresh side salad.
