Baked parsnips! Delightful.... if done right with a nice gravy.

I don't think I would bother with boiled parsnips.

The season runs from April until August so you're right, you've missed

They won't be as fresh but, like carrots and other root vegetables, they
seem to store quite well.

Definitely a unique taste.
