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.

Ketchup on everything (except ice cream) is on the menu. Especially scrambled eggs!
Mayo on everything. Ketchup on fries. Love them both!
My fave way to enjoy mayo is with sweet potato fries and a juicy burger.
Ever since I saw Sir Kensington’s Ketchup & Mayo on the Love and Lemons blog I have wanted to try it! I just moved to Indiana from Austin, TX and I’m dreading that we don’t have the epically large Whole Foods or their selection at our very small location here in South Bend. I can’t wait to try making these parsnip fries and maybe order some to use! I think my favorite use for mayo is in different dips and dressings – a little bit always goes a long way and can be complimented by so many other great flavors! Garlic, lemon, cayenne, you name it! I love using it in a spinach & artichoke dip I make for parties.
Ketchup is the best condiment, great on faux-meats, french fries, veggie burgers, or my favorite unhealthy breakfast, classic shredded potato hash browns! I can’t wait to try their spicy ketchup on my favorite breakfast!
Thanks so much for your great blog posts, I’ve made a few recipes now and I think your cashew “ricotta” is the best I’ve come across yet! Happy cooking 🙂 …and eating!
you’re so sweet thank you! Ha, I would be sad to leave our Whole Foods too :).
Both on fries, burgers, sandwiches! Yum!
I love French fries and I love ketchup. I don’t eat mayo that often, but if I do it’s usually garlic mayo with sweet potato fries. I love ketchup on a lot of foods, sometimes I make ketchup sandwiches, but my favorite is on a blue cheese stuffed beef burger.
Love mayo on my Avocado Lettuce Tomato sandwiches
Love ketchup on my breakfast sandwiches
With salmon burgers!
Never too many condiments! I can’t wait to try these fries, sold on sweet potato fries but love root veggies. Pick me!
Gotta go with the classic combos of ketchup with burgers, fries, and hot dogs. And I love mayo in potato salad or egg salad, and my husband and I like to combine mayo with fish sauce on our banh mi sandwiches!
I love good olive oil mayo when making macaroni salad. Thank you cant wait to make your parsnip fries they look great!
My fav way to use mayo is in the summer. I like to spread if over corn on the cobb ( organic and non GMO of course:) then grill a few minutes on each side and finish with chili salt and fresh lime. OMG mouth watering. While you are grilling I also reccomend a nice glass of Sauv Blanc….just sayin;)
I mix mayo with sriracha and garlic and spread it on veggie burgers or dip French fries in it, but ketchup is always a staple for fries and burgers too!!
Grilled cheese dipped in ketchup, my ultimate comfort food!
I love ketchup with crispy hash browns. And all my sandwiches thrive on mayo.
I love my mayo straight out of the jar but it’s great with fries too. I like ketchup on burgers with mayo of course. Even a piece of cheddar cheese is good with a bit of ketchup.
I love to slather ketchup on burgers of any kind and then add extra for dipping the burger in so each mouthful is full of ketchup!! Also, sometimes I just like to dip spicy pickles in ketchup. It’s a salty overload, but so good!
Nothing better than homemade meatloaf with ketchup!
Also love to dip artichoke leaves in mayonnaise with a touch of lemon and mustard! Delish!!
sriracha. ketchup. eggs. hash browns.
oh, and kimchi.
My favorite way to use a quality ketchup is atop a fabulous meatloaf!
It’s not really a meatloaf without a fine ketchup topping.
