Purple Burgers
with Horseradish Cream & Parmesan Parsnip Fries
Parsnips, the carrots' pale cousin and distant relative of parsley, fennel, and celery, have a sweet, earthy flavor. Tossed with vegan parmesan, they make the perfect fries for dipping in spicy horseradish cream sauce. These purple veggie burgers, made primarily of sweet beets and carrots, complement the tangy flavor of horseradish and earthy notes of parsnip.

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine parsnip, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper on foil-lined baking sheet and toss. Roast until parsnips are tender and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with parmesan and garlic and roast until fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes more. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp vegetable oil)
Toast sourdough directly on oven rack until lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add burgers and cook until browned and heated through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp vegetable oil)
Stir together mayo, horseradish, just half the coriander, and pinch of salt and pepper in small bowl. (TIP: Keep remaining coriander for you own use)
Place 1 slice of toasted sourdough on each plate and top with purple burger and sauerkraut. Drizzle with horseradish cream and close with second slice of toasted sourdough. Serve with parmesan parsnip fries and extra horseradish cream for dipping. Dig in!
