Baked Parsnip Fries are a delightful and nutritious alternative to traditional potato fries. These parsnip fries are seasoned and baked until they’re tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. They offer a balance of natural sweetness and savory flavors, making them a satisfying and guilt-free side dish or snack. Baking these fries reduces the oil content while preserving their delicious taste.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Peel the parsnips and cut them into fry-shaped sticks of even size.
- In a bowl, toss the parsnip sticks with a drizzle of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure the parsnip sticks are evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Spread the seasoned parsnip sticks in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping the sticks halfway through, or until they are tender on the inside and golden and crisp on the outside.
- Keep a close eye on the parsnip fries during the last few minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
- Once the Baked Parsnip Fries are cooked to your liking, remove them from the oven.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve the fries hot as a side dish or snack, and enjoy!
TIPS
- Customize the seasoning by experimenting with ingredients like a pinch of thyme or a dash of smoked paprika for added flavor.
