How do YOU cook parsnips? Beets?

My husband brought home some parsnips and beets yesterday. I’ve never cooked either of these things and don’t even know what they taste like. Can you share a recipe using parsnips or beets that you enjoy? If it’s something kids would at least try, even better!

Tried and true recipes, please. I know I can look up recipes easily, but I’d like to hear what you, personally, like to cook with these things.

Thanks!
