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! Absolutely love. I like it on my eggs and with a hearty plate of bacon! And french fries! Can’t have fries without ketchup!
On french fries! A classic!
As a mini meatloaf topper with mustard and brown sugar- yum!
I love a good mayo-based dipping sauce for fries! I’ve made parsnips like this before, but usually just used them as a salad topper – at least the ones I didn’t eat straight off the pan 🙂
I love ketchup on homemade fries… It’s the best!
Sorry to be traditional, but fries are the way to go.
sriracha mayo + ketchup on a spicy veggie burger. and of course plenty of ketchup for the fries!
Mayo – love using some good mayo to make an aioli for fries or a sandwich
Ketchup – I love it with super crispy onion rings (my hangover remedy)
My favorite way to eat mayo is spread thickly over wheat bread in a tomato sandwich.
When I was a kiddo, I loved ketchup on everything–rice, eggs, you name it. As an adult, I still love it, but now on more traditional items like burgers and fries.
I love to blend mayonnaise and ketchup together with some hot pepper sauce as a dip for just about anything!
ketchup on eggs!
We love ketchup on anything, always fries though.
I love chipotle mayo on fish tacos!
Ketchup on sweet potao fries and mayo on sandwiches.
I like mayo on lots of things. Thanks.
What a fantastic idea to use parsnips as french fries. Looks so good.
I like mixing mayo and ketchup for dipping fries!
We enjoy ketchup primarily on grilled summer sandwiches, and on extra crispy fries. Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway.
Well, I personally think a burger and fries is the best meal on earth (accompanied by a cold beer even!) but this winter I’ve been all about a quick “aioli,” mixing flavors into mayo, for dipping brussel sprouts into.
