1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the diced parsnips and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool completely.
2. In a mixing bowl, mash the avocados using a fork until you reach a smooth, creamy consistency.
3. Fold in the cooled parsnips, lime juice, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to combine all ingredients, making sure not to over-mash, as you want to maintain some texture.
4. Taste the guacamole and adjust seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or pepper as desired.
5. Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping, and enjoy this fresh and flavorful twist on a beloved classic!
