Peel and cut 500 g Parsnips into fries and put them in a bowl with 1 teaspoon Olive oil, 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper and 1 teaspoon Garlic powder. Mix well.
Put into an oven-proof tray, making sure there is a bit of space between the fries.
Put into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning a couple of times.
Serve with dip.
Notes
Use half and half carrots and parsnips for a mix of vegetable fries.
We kept the seasoning simple with just salt, pepper and garlic powder, but you could add some paprika for a smoky flavour or a punch of chilli powder for a kick of heat.
Dip is important, so go with a homemade ketchup, BBQ sauce or a creamy harissa sauce.
Want these a little sweeter? Add a drizzle of maple syrup about 5 minutes before they are ready to come out of the oven.
To make these a little more indulgent, add some grated parmesan 5 minutes before they have finished cooking.
Make sure there is enough room between each parsnip fry on the baking tray. You want them to get crispy. If they are too close together, they will steam rather than roast.
