Ingredients
Parsnip Fries
- 4 parsnips
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp pink salt
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare parsnips: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup. Peel the parsnips and cut them into sticks about 2 to 3 inches long to resemble fries. Spread the parsnip sticks evenly across the lined baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Mix seasoning and coat parsnips: In a small bowl, whisk together the grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, pink salt, and dried parsley until well combined. Drizzle the avocado oil over the parsnip sticks and use your hands or a spatula to coat them thoroughly with the oil. Then sprinkle the parmesan mixture evenly over the parsnips, massaging the seasoning in so each piece is well coated. Spread any leftover mixture evenly over the fries for extra flavor.
- Bake the fries: Place the baking sheet with the coated parsnip sticks in the preheated oven. Bake for 22 minutes until the fries turn golden brown and develop a crispy exterior. For extra crispiness, you can flip them halfway through baking, but this is optional.
- Serve and garnish: Once baked, remove the fries from the oven. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley for added color and freshness. Serve the garlic parmesan parsnip fries warm with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy this tasty, healthier alternative to traditional fries!
Notes
- Parsnips vary in size, so adjust slicing thickness to ensure fries cook evenly.
- For extra crispiness, consider broiling the fries for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking while watching closely to prevent burning.
- Use freshly grated parmesan for best flavor and texture.
- Avocado oil is used for its high smoke point and mild taste, but olive oil can be substituted.
- These fries can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness instead of microwaving.
- For a dairy-free option, omit parmesan and add extra garlic powder and herbs.
