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 LOVE ketchup on veggie burgers and on roasted sweet potatoes!
I used to eat ketchup on everything imaginable but it is my favorite with fries or on eggs/omelettes/egg and cheese sandwiches! P.s. The chipotle mayo featured looks amazing and I would eat that on everything!!!
Ketchup w/hot sauce is a must for breakfast items like eggs and hashbrowns.
Yum yum!
I love burgers smothered with garlic mayo. Take something unhealthy and make it even unhealthier – that’s how I like it 🙂
Mayo in Pimento Cheese!
Ketchup cabbage rolls are one of my absolute favorite comfort foods. And my husband is loves a good mayo hollandaise over eggs!
Favorite way to eat MAYO is IN warm spinach artichoke dip. ketchup a must on my hash!
I’m very much a ketchup and fries girl.
Dipped! That’s my favorite way. One of my good friends once said that food is a way to get dip into my mouth – I’d have to agree with her! Definitely going to try these fries!
Oh my gosh- everything looks so good! I’m from the Midwest, so my favorite way to enjoy ketchup is every way 🙂 But I am particularly fond of gratuitous ketchup with hot and gooey grilled cheese. For me, it’s the ultimate comfort food.
Ketchup on everything!
I love mixing ketchup with some curry powder and having it with sweet potato fries. Also, mixing mayo with some pesto makes a quick and easy spread for sandwiches!
I usually don’t like ketchup – but I was inspired by your note yesterday that Jack hates ketchup but loved this stuff! My husband would be so proud of me if I started to eat ketchup regularly 😉 Plus, that chipotle mayo looks like it probably tastes like unicorn tears so I’m dying to try that.
I enjoy a ketchup and mayo combo for my fries. Sometimes I add in mustard or horseradish… After reading some of the earlier comments, I may have to try mayo alone on fries.
Mayonnaise goes great on our homemade kimchi poutine.
Ketchup on a quality veggie burger, mayo on fries – at least, lately!
OOO we’ve recently come into accepting dipping fries in mayo and it is delightful
Ketchup & eggs are my favorite combo!
There is nothing better than ketchup with fries. Growing up, I was always so excited when my mom was making burgers for dinner because that meant homemade sweet potato fries. Also, my dad and I love ketchup on our scrambled eggs! (My mom always shakes her head in disgrace when we top our eggs with the sauce).
As for mayo.. it’s always a great ingredient to put into cakes! Creates so much moisture and makes a cake so delish!
So excited about this giveaway! The packaging is to die for.
loove ketchup on my eggs!
