Swap potatoes for parsnips to make these healthy baked parsnip fries! Great with your favorite burger, they're irresistibly crispy, sweet & salty.
Happy Fri-day! (pun intended, I’m so sorry).
What I’m not sorry about are these parsnip fries – they’re awesome and super simple to make. I recommend making extra because you (or your significant other – I’m not naming any names here), will likely eat most of them right off the baking sheet, and you’re going to want a few left to enjoy with your burger.
Not only are these parsnip fries healthier than traditional fries (they have much more fiber), but they have a unique flavor. If you’ve cooked with parsnips before, you know that they’re slightly sweet. As a result, these crispy fries have a fantastic sweet & salty taste that makes them totally addictive.
If you don’t gobble them up straight off the pan, they’d be great with any of the following recipes:
- Best Darn Vegan Veggie Burger
- Falafel Burgers with Yogurt Dill Sauce
- BBQ Jackfruit Sandwiches
- Vegan Black Bean Quinoa Burger
- Portobello Pups
I like to serve my fries with ketchup, mayo, or chipotle sauce for dipping. For fry variety, try these sweet potato fries, too. Let me know what you think in the comments, and enjoy!
Baked Parsnip Fries
- Parsnips
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Sea salt
- ketchup and/or mayo
- Preheat your oven to 375F.
- Scrub your parsnips clean and lightly peel them (you don't have to peel them if yours are really clean). Slice into thin strips.
- Toss with a drizzle of olive oil and a few good pinches of salt.
- Bake 15-25 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping halfway.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately. These are best hot.

I love ketchup with hot sauce. Perfect with omlettes or fries! (Although, sometimes attracts some weird looks from servers.)
Sriracha in Mayonnaise to make it Spicy Mayo!
i love mayo and ketchup for fries! can’t eat them without it!
When I was a kid I always ate my pork chops with ketchup. Although sometimes I just ate ketchup on its own, too…
Ah, mayonnaise…the nectar of the gods. Fave uses include chicken salad and pimiento cheese. It is an amazing condiment – a little goes a long way. And ketchup is perfect for dunking grilled cheeses into. Don’t judge. 🙂
I love super cold ketchup and super hot crispy fries. Mayo and tuna just go together for me like peas and carrots. YUM!!
I love ketchup on sweet potatoe fries and mayo in a aioli sauce for tuna patties!
egg & ketchup. No contest!
i loveeee ketchup on my fries, i can’t eat it without it.
and the only time i really love mayo or veganaise when i’m being vegan is macaroni salad in the summer time.. amazing.
I love fries with mayo every since I tried it in London! Ketchup and mayo in my burger of course.
WOW, these look divine. French fries are one of my favorite foods, and I sometimes wonder if it’s just because they are the perfect ketchup-delivery system!
I love adding lemon juice, hot sauce, and a few spices to mayonnaise to use as a great sauce for tacos! I also make homemade baked french fries very often and always enjoy them with ketchup!
i love ketchup with fries, hotdogs, and burgers.
I love mayonnaise on fries! I’ll have to test out these parsnip fries, they sound excellent! Ketchup is not one of my faces, but my partner has never met one she doesn’t like. She’s a ketchup & mayo mixer too.
Oh, my goodness, that Sir Kensington packaging is gorgeous! And the condiments sound amazing, too – I just love it when someone nails both the packaging and the food. <3 My favourite way of using mayo is mixing it with a little garlic and some truffle oil, and then dipping sweet potato fries in it. YUMMY! Would LOVE to try these beauties. I am actually yet to try chipotle mayo of any kind, and feel it really is about time.
The combo of mayo & Ketchup slathered on a burger, like we are talking drowning in it is like my heaven.
How yummy does these ketchups and mayos look? I’m pretty old fashioned when it comes to my ketchup, mostly fried things like fries, onion rings, etc… Especially since living in Chicago – ketchup is forbidden on hot dogs! Mayonnaise is a new love for me, so I’m experimenting with aiolis, and slaws.
Oh my goodness, Sir Kensington’s is my favorite ketchup. I received some from Santa the past two years, and of course went through it quickly. I love it on homemade sweet potato fries, or a Spanish tortilla!
My favorite mayo is chipotle mayo – on turkey burgers, maybe with some sweet potato fries? Ketchup on any burger, a pretty classic choice, is my favorite.
I actually LOVE ketchup as an alternative to hollandaise sauce for my poached eggs: the sweet tang of the ketchup goes great with a gooey poached egg and some sautéed spinach and onions on a toasted english muffin. YUM!
