Parsnips are generally an under-utilized food but they have great flavor, especially when picked fresh from the garden. Roasting the parsnips allows them to take on an almost nutty taste, which holds up well to the chipotle-carrot froth that tops it.

The froth is created with xanthan gum, helping it to retain the bubbles generated in the whipping siphon. This is a great dish to serve as an appetizer or starter plate.
