Instructions
To make Braised Salsify with Maple Walnuts
- Peel your salsify, and cut it 3" long chunks
- Steam it for about 10 minutes, or until knife tender. I steamed mine in my Ninja Foodi but however you steam veg is fine.
- Drain and dry on paper towel.
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a frying pan and add the salsify.
- Saute on all sides until it is golden in colour.
- Add the walnuts and maple syrup to the pan and quickly toss everything together.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and season for taste.
- I love to serve this on a bed of leaves, but it also makes a delicious side dish.
To make Air Fryer Salsify Chips
- Cut your prepared salsify into thin rings.
- Soak in a bowl of cold salt water for 15 minutes. This removes the starch and prepares them better for crisping.
- Preheat Air Fryer to 190c.
- Drain and dry your salsify rings on kitchen paper.
- Place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt, pepper and spray with a little oil
- Arrange in your air fryer in one layer, and cook for between 10-15 minutes, or until golden. Repeat if you have more salsify to cook.
- Serve!
Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
