Parsnip Fries
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 5 parsnips (½ pound)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • salt to taste (I used ½ tsp)
  • pepper to taste (I used ¼ tsp)
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 – 3 shakes paprika
  • 4 – 5 shakes oregano
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and prepare a baking sheet with nonstick spray or parchment paper.
  2. Peel parsnips and cut into sticks approximately the size of your standard fast food fry.
  3. In a bowl, toss with oil and seasonings.
  4. Spread in a thin layer on baking sheet. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are browned. Fries will crisp up slightly after 1 – 2 minutes, but serve immediately after.
Notes
For a lower calorie fry: omit oil and spritz with nonstick spray while tossing with seasonings until lightly and evening coated (adjusted: 85 calories, 0 g fat)
Serve immediately – these will get soggy after approximately 20 – 30 minutes.
