Parsnip Fries
Description
Watch out potatoes, there’s a new fry in town: crispy, highly dippable Parsnip Fries! A root vegetable with a subtly sweet flavor, parsnips are an undersung hero you may have overlooked until now.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds parsnips peeled and cut into 3 inch x 1/2-inch strips
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F with a rack positioned in the upper third of your oven and lightly coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the cut parsnips in a large bowl and then toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic.
- Spread the seasoned parsnips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 15 minutes, then flip the fries over and return to the oven for 10-15 additional minutes, until the parsnips are golden brown and tender. Sprinkle with half of the Parmesan cheese and return to the oven for 1 additional minute, until the cheese melts. Let rest 2 minutes, then toss with remaining Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
