Swap potatoes for parsnips to make these healthy baked parsnip fries! Great with your favorite burger, they're irresistibly crispy, sweet & salty.
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:
- Best Darn Vegan Veggie Burger
- Falafel Burgers with Yogurt Dill Sauce
- BBQ Jackfruit Sandwiches
- Vegan Black Bean Quinoa Burger
- Portobello Pups
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!
Baked Parsnip Fries
- Parsnips
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Sea salt
- ketchup and/or mayo
- Preheat your oven to 375F.
- Scrub your parsnips clean and lightly peel them (you don't have to peel them if yours are really clean). Slice into thin strips.
- Toss with a drizzle of olive oil and a few good pinches of salt.
- Bake 15-25 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping halfway.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately. These are best hot.

Mayo: a thin layer on a piece of toast, topped with salt and pepper and a fresh-from-the-garden tomato slice
Ketchup: with french fries, of course!
Thanks for the generous giveaway!
Dad’s secret: little bit of mayo on the homemade bacon egg and cheese sandwich. Sounds weird. So delicious 🙂
ketchup + wholegrain mustard +thyme and plenty of black pepper. This is a sensational upgrade for your normal fries 🙂
Hot dogs and corn dogs. I was shocked to find out on my first trip to Chicago that some people consider this sacrilegious, but without ketchup, I wouldn’t bother with hot dogs or corndogs. With ketchup, they are transformed to something beyond the sum of their parts!
I love ketchup on fries! I use mayo usually in tuna or chicken salads 🙂
with onion rings
french fries and ketchup, forever and ever.
I like ketchup best with (homemade) fries as well!
ALWAYS with chicken salad sandwich (mayo) and ketchup…on some meatloaf …and the OBVI–FRIES (avec sea salt of course)
I love ketchup on fries and sometimes with hashbrowns!
I love adding a little sriracha to my ketchup!
Mayo always completes a great fast food burger!
I use ketchup on my fries, battered fish, meatloaf, eggs and tons of other things. I use mayo mostly on sandwiches and potato salad.
mayo and ketchup combo for fries and just ketchup for burgers. their product looks delicious. would love to try it!
As a lot of people, I love mixing ketchup and mayo together. If you add some chopped pickles, is even better – I dip anything in it, but with fries is especially good. Another favorite of mine is mixing mayo with yellow curry powder. Yum!
Mayo cut with sour cream or plain greek yogurt and lemon for aioli for an artichoke! Ketchup on a burger of course! Can’t wait to try these parsnip fries.
Ketchup on fries, mayo on burgers!
with fries 🙂
I love Ketchup with Passion and Habanero Mustard. Yum Yum! I eat fries and vegetarian burgers with this. No bread or cheese required. It is to die for. It is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
mayo instead of butter on a grilled cheese – so crispy!
