This was served at a dinner I went to recently. I am not familiar with cooking parsnips, but this dish was delicious. I hope to try it soon.

3 pounds parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
¼ pound butter, melted

¼ cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
¼ cup bread crumbs, or to taste
