Baked parsnip fries How to make parsnip fries

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:

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!

  1. Preheat your oven to 375F.
  2. Scrub your parsnips clean and lightly peel them (you don't have to peel them if yours are really clean). Slice into thin strips.
  3. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil and a few good pinches of salt.
  4. Bake 15-25 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping halfway.
  5. Remove from oven and serve immediately. These are best hot.

    Hot Sicilian Sandwich with Ketchup!

    My family is known for this sandwich and ketchup is the perfect condiment. Basically it’s a grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread but add pepperoni and Canadian bacon inside. Also after spreading butter on the outside of the sandwich, sprinkle a good amount of Parmesan cheese. It creates a great crust and flavor. After grilling dip in ketchup! Yuuuum!!!

    I actually just discovered Sir Kensington’s Spiced Ketchup a few months ago. Perfect with baked sweet potato fries and a burger!

    Ketchup and Mayo mixed together, some Port wine and greek yoghurt is a delicious sauce for my shrimp appetizer with fresh pineapple and papaya…

    My favorite way to use ketchup is in homemade cocktail sauce! Adding in lemon juice and horseradish with some ground black pepper; it is so fresh and a great compliment to the old fashioned shrimp cocktail. Much better than bottled cocktail sauce.

  9. I’m a ketchup girl myself, and fries are definitely my favorite ketchup vehicle 🙂 yum!! These fries looks phenomenal – and your photos are gorgeous. Pinned!

    Potatoes. Especially in french fried form. They’re just so good. Or mixed with sriracha on a tofu scramble.

    Mayo is absolutely necessary for egg salad – and I love ketchup with hot sauce and fries…or even better, crispy hash browns.

  16. wow, those condiments are gorgeous, and I love parsnips!! I’ll be making some of these fries tonight 🙂

    I like to mix ketchup with a little bit of brown sugar and vinegar. A great sauce to baste meatloaf or even a roast with.
