Mashed Parsnip with Vegan Miso Gravy

Knowing how it is to feel left out and awkward at a dinner party or gathering with not a single gluten-free option to choose from, I’m more mindful these days to consider it’s also likely that at least a few of my guests will prefer vegan options.  Mashed Parsnip with Vegan Miso Gravy is an easy side dish you can offer along with a protein-rich main course such as Roasted Carrots with Lentils and Tahini.

This dish can be whipped up in no time and is very good whether you’re vegan or not!
