Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds parsnips, peeled
1 pound carrots, unpeeled
3 tablespoons good olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill or parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • If the parsnips and carrots are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Slice each diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. The vegetables will shrink while cooking, so don't make the pieces too small. Place the cut vegetables on a sheet pan. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss well. Roast for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the vegetables, tossing occasionally, until the parsnips and carrots are just tender. Sprinkle with dill and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots and parsnips: Select firm, brightly colored carrots and parsnips for the best flavor and texture.
  • Cut the vegetables evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly and consistently.
  • Soak the vegetables in cold water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
  • Dry the vegetables thoroughly: This will help them to crisp up in the oven.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: This will help to give the fries a delicious flavor and crispy texture.
  • Season the fries with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance their natural flavor.
  • Bake the fries at a high temperature: This will help them to crisp up quickly and evenly.
  • Serve the fries hot and crispy: They are best enjoyed immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Carrot and parsnip fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional potato fries. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed as a snack or as a side dish. With their sweet and earthy flavor, carrot and parsnip fries are a great way to add some variety to your meals.
