These skinny parsnip fries make an excellent alternative to white potato ones, and add an extra helping of veggies to boot. They are super kid-friendly - most will LOVE them! Sugar free, gluten free, vegan, low carb, paleo.
- 3 large parsnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- generous couple of pinches of sea salt
- plenty of fresh ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, optional
-
Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/gas 7. With a sharp knife, cut the parsnips into skinny matchstick fry shapes. Toss in the olive oil until all the fries are coated, then spread out on a lined baking tray. Season generously with salt & pepper, and sprinkle over the paprika, if using. Roast for 25-35 minutes, taking them out and mixing every 10 minutes to make sure they cook evenly. Once they are starting to catch on the edges and are cooked through and crispy, take them out and allow to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
