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.

I like ketchup best on home fries, and of course fries. Your parsnip ones look fantastic. I’m a big fan of sweet potato fries too.
The other day I tried something new to spice up my boring tuna packet snack… mayo with finely chopped wasabi nori, lime, and salt. YUM.
As for ketchup, nothing is better than plain, bare naked ketchup with a piping hot plate of crispy fries!
It sounds so weird…and I actually have hated mayo until I discovered it:
A perfectly toasted slice of good quality bread, a healthy slather of mayo, and thinly sliced perfect tomatoes…all topped with a bit of sea salt and tons of black pepper. So, so, so tasty!
Umm. Yeah. I want to win this giveaway!
I love ketchup on top of veggie burgers or for dipping roasted veggies. Mustard is amazing in any type of salad dressing and I would love to try these guys out! Beautiful parsnip fries are on my menu soon 🙂
A burger is not a burger without ketchup!
I was never much of a french fries fan until I went to France and discovered that they dip them in mayo. Now the combination of the two of one of my favorite side-dishes. And the reminder of France is a bonus. 🙂
I enjoy ketchup with carrot fries, but these parsnip fries look amazing!
Mayo on a grilled turkey burger; grill the bun, too!
Fries for both! Ketchup on eggs, in stir-fries. Mayo for dipping artichokes!
I love ketchup on a baked potato (with cheddar cheese)!
Homemade mac & cheese with some ketchup added just before eating! Yum!
I’m one of those people who put ketchup on everything! I can’t help it…I love it! Especially over eggs and potatoes.
Oh, my favorite favorite is a trick I picked up from a great restaurant in Memphis – their burger comes with “secret sauce” which is just a combo of mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup. There’s something about combining them directly that makes the burger (not to mention the fries) really sing!
On a juicy hot dog!!!
Mayo. So much versatility with mayo.
in baked beans.
Always with fries! But an exciting flavor might change what I enjoy it on:). Thank u for the giveaway
It’s so cold & dreary now – I can’t help but fantasize about a thick slice of bread, toasted, with a yummy slather of mayo, topped with the most-perfect-just-picked-from-the-garden tomato & a bit of salt. YUM! I need it to be summer soon!
Favorite ways to enjoy mayo… mixed with yellow-hotdog mustard for dipping fries, or mixed with wasabi for dipping artichokes. Ketchup is fun mixed with sriracha or BBQ sauce!
I’m so addicted to mayo it’s not even funny! I love dipping my fries in it of course, but a dollop of mayo on jasmine rice is sublime as well!
