Maple and Vinegar-Glazed Parsnips

These firm, caramelized roots, their flavor and sugar concentrated, call for a counterpoint of bitter greens, such as dandelion, kale, mustard greens, or broccoli raab. Turkey, pork, or sausages are natural partners. Or for a vegetable meal, roast mushrooms with herbs to accompany the parsnips and greens. If you lack pure maple syrup, substitute 1½ tablespoons honey mixed with 2 teaspoons water.
