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.

Oh my gosh! I eat ketchup on EVERYTHING! What wouldn’t it go on, is more of the question! 🙂
I love ketchup mixed with sriracha for fries. I grew up disliking mayonnaise, but have since grown to love it. I mean, aioli! Homemade ranch dressing! Coleslaw! The possibilities are endless.
ketchup and mayo mixed together with tots!
Ketchup on fries and on a veggie burger for sure!
Best way is FRY SAUCE, dipping fries in a mixture of mayo and ketchup…nothing better.
I love both drenching my Fries! Thanks for such a great giveaway! Love your site!
Ketchup, mayo, and cheese over grilled corn, or ellote is one of my favorite foods when I am in Central America! 🙂
Ketchup is best eaten in the way it was originally intended – on fries! (preferably sweet potato, but I am willing to give parsnips a try!) And I love using mayo to make a garlic-lemon aioli – YUM.
Are there any stores in Chicago that sell Sir Kensington’s?
Hi Ellie, you can type in your zip code here: http://sirkensingtons.com/purveyors
I’m so excited about this recipe! I’ve been on the lookout for new ways to use parsnip and I this sounds delicious. I’ll probably make this next week! Thank you for your ever inspiring posts.
Me: mayo and blt’s are the most amazing thing ever, otherwise, it’s best used sparingly. Husband: mayo makes everything the best thing ever. Our ketchup views are similarly opposite.
SPF…..SWEET POTATO FRIES. Hands down my favorite ketchup sidekick. I’m a ketchup girl through and through; add a plate of fries and I am golden. My boyfriend doesn’t like my mayo but he can’t get enough of Sir K’s chipotle stuff!
Mayo with a little adobo added is swell on any sweet potato or fish dish you can think of! I’m literally thinking right now and I can’t come up with a single thing. Especially, are you ready for this, fish tacos with sweet potato hash! Mmm…
Is it bad that I LOVE to dip my fries in mayo? And I would eat it by the spoonful if it was appropriate! 🙂
With fries of course!
I love to mix some adobo into my mayo and use it on sweet potato fries, burgers, and sandwiches.
I love ketchup on black bean burgers with homemade fries!
On fries! Mayo + ketchup on burgers… yum.
I love new ways to eat fries! And the dips look so amazing 🙂
Mayo: mixed with canned salmon, minced garlic, olive oil and spices—eaten with celery sticks
Ketchup: mixed with sriracha—eaten with sweet potato fries
My favorite way to eat ketchup is with fries of any kind. I like (vegan) mayo on sandwiches mostly (tempeh bacon, sauerkraut, mayo is my favorite combo).
