Make this with winter parsnips and it is incredibly sweet!  Loved it and reheated well as a leftover.

1.5-2 pounds parsnips, peeled and cut into match sticks
1 cup cream
1/4 TSP ground turmeric
1/4 TSP ground cumin
pinch of chili powder or cayenne powder
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Blanch parsnips for 2 minutes.  Drain well.  Grease a baking dish and add parsnips.  Cover with cream and spices and mix well.  Season with salt and pepper.  Top with feta cheese.  Bake at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until parsnips are tender.
