You would never guess these fries are healthy! Rosemary parsnip fries are so easy to make and add a great twist to any meal.

Have you ever tried parsnips?

I recently discovered them about a year ago. Maybe there is a better word besides “discovered” since these have obviously been around for a while, but somehow I didn’t really know about them.

They look like white carrots, and are surprisingly versatile in that you can use them in so many dishes. In soups, roasted vegetables, and even mashed like potatoes!

Today I am going to share one of my favorite ways to eat them: in fry form.

“Fries” is a deceiving name because they are actually baked, but we’ll go with it.

I made these for some friends and thought I could trick them into thinking they were regular french fries.

(I like to make swaps and see if people notice.) But I failed to hide the parsnip remains before they saw them. Oh well. Whether or not you can fool your friends, they sure taste good!

All you need to do is cut a parsnip in small slivers, and try to make them all the same size (about half an inch thick). This is pretty much impossible for me (notice some of the smaller pieces got a little more crispy) but it will work out.

Coat them in olive oil (an olive oil spray is a great trick for this), sprinkle some fresh rosemary, and bake at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes. Quick, easy, and delicious!

If you have ever tried parsnips, what other ways have you cooked with them? Let me know in the comments, I need some ideas!
