Parsnip Fries

Oven Temperature: 
400 degrees F
Ingredients: 
  • 1/2 lb parsnips, peeled
  • 3 tbs oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • fresh thyme
  • salt to taste
Instructions: 

1) Preheat the over to 400 F.

2) Cut the parsnips into thin fry shapes (approx. 2 inches long and 1/2 inch thick).

3) Spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Sprinkle some oil over them (just enough to coat). Toss them. Add thyme and salt. Toss again. Put into oven.

4) Roast for 5 minutes. Remove and flip them. Add garlic. Continue cooking for 5 more minutes. Check parsnips. Flip again. Continue cooking until parsnips are crispy brown (depending on your oven and how thin you cut the parsnips, this could be 5-10 more minutes).

Notes: 

If potatoes are too hard on your system, you might want to try this as a semi-substitute for french fries.

If you can tolerate it, omit the thyme and add paprika or cayenne for a spicy version. Note that paprika and cayenne are nightshades and could produce allergic reactions in some people. I keep my paprika in the freezer to help reduce mold levels.
