Herb Roasted Parsnip Fries

March 6, 2015 by Marisa Moore

These baked parsnip fries may just satisfy your French fry craving!

Parsnip Fries on marisamoore.com

French fries are one of my all time favorite foods. Given the calories and fat, they are an indulgence. In a quest to find a healthier swap, I decided to make parsnip fries. Parsnips bake up slightly sweet and very crispy on the outside leaving a soft, starchy texture inside.

Though parsnips look a lot like a white carrot, they deserve a spotlight all their own. Find out more about these sweet roots in my seasonal nutrition post on the KitchenAid® blog  today.

No. They don’t taste like fried potatoes but they are deliciously different and sooo good! Let me know what you think.

Disclosure: I was compensated by KitchenAid® for this post but as always all opinions expressed are my own.
