Ingredients

  • 6 medium parsnip(s) about 1.5 lbs for 4 servings
  • 1 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
  • 1 large egg(s)
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon(s) coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/4 cup(s) olive oil light
  • 1/4 cup(s) Paleo mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoon(s) hot pepper sauce

Instructions

  1. Put the parsnips in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and allow to cool.
  2. Once cool, shred the parsnips on a box grater and lay on paper towels. Sprinkle with the salt and let sit for 5 minutes. Squeeze as much of the water out of the parsnips as you can and transfer to a bowl.
  3. Add the egg, seasonings, and coconut flour and mix well.
  4. Put the olive oil in a heavy skillet and heat to medium high heat. When oil is shimmering, scoop the parsnip mixture into the pan (use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cakes.) Flatten slightly with a spatula and cook until golden brown on both sides.
  5. To serve, mix the mayo with the hot sauce and serve on the side of the cakes.
