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.

Fries. Sometimes mixed with some horseradish and a squeeze of lemon, but always fries.
Oh my, Sir Kensington is so cute… it would be so happy to have him looking at me whenever I open my fridge! I’m a mayo on fries gal (chipotle – yum…), and the spicy ketchup would give me a great excuse to make a meatloaf.
Ketchup on veggie burgers is my fave!
Ketchup, mayonnaise? Both of these are great with curry. I make a veggie dip with mayo and curry (it’s also good with fruit) that is to die for. I also mix curry into ketchup to serve with fries or eggs. So warming and fulfilling.
love ketchup on eggs and fries; basically the usual.
spicy mayo on chicken sandwiches and burgers!
I love grilled chicken,cheese, avocado sandwich with mayo. It is scrumptious!
Thank you
This might sound completely strange but I love ketchup with eggs! My mom used to make me rice omlettes when I was a kid and I think that’s where I got it from! And for mayo… I love mixing it with sriracha and putting that on everything 🙂
i will drown mostly anything in ketchup; the only exception being McDonald’s hash browns.
But mayo with a garlic chili sauce is the way to go for any dipping need!
mayo in deviled eggs! ketchup on your parsnip fries!
Ketchup on veggie burgers on English muffins!
Mayo on scrambled egg Sammie’s…. Yummy!!!
I prefer to mix my ketchup and mayo together with a hint of sirracha and use it on E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.
I love ketchup on homemade sweet potato fries!
It may be cliche, but ketchup and mayo on a bacon-cheese-jalepeno burger (preferably from Crown & Anchor off Dean Keaton) is SO the way to go.
Ketchup swirled with a little bit of sriracha, used as a dipping sauce for grilled cheese… mm, the best! This is my mom’s go-to bad day food, everything always seems a little better afterwards.
Bread and mayonnaise. Eggs and mayonnaise. Meats and ketchup. Eggs and ketchup. Ketchup and mayonnaise mix together with sea food. Shall I continue? Gosh, now I am hungry. Thanks for this giveaway.
I love to cheat and use prepared mayo to make Aioli. I love Aioli on many things but on Chicken in particular. I also love parsnips and can’t wait to try them as fries. Thanks for the great idea!
I put mayonnaise on absolutely everything, even before I try my food. Fries and ketchup, that’s my favorite, like everyone else. If I want to pimp a piece of bread, there goes ketchup and mayo. Love them.
With fries, definitely and with omelet! I will try this fries tomorrow for my husband!
Thanks.
Any burger I eat leaves the plate looking like a massacre took place. I need ketchup and lots of it. Love my fries with mayo as well as ketchup.
