Steps:
- Place the parsnips into a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat, and simmer until parsnips are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well, pat the parsnip pieces dry with paper towels, and set aside.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, and place the parsnips into the hot butter in an even layer. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper (I use quite a bit). Cook parsnips until lightly golden brown on both sides, 5 to 8 minutes per side.

Tips:
- Choose the right parsnips: Look for firm, smooth parsnips without any blemishes or bruises. Avoid any that are soft or have a wrinkled appearance.
- Cut the parsnips evenly: To ensure even cooking, cut the parsnips into uniform strips. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Season the parsnips well: Don't be afraid to season the parsnips liberally with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to enhance their flavor and make them more enjoyable.
- Use a hot oven: Parsnip fries should be cooked at a high temperature to ensure that they become crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Aim for an oven temperature of at least 425°F (220°C).
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: When baking the parsnip fries, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This will allow them to cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Flip the parsnip fries halfway through cooking: To ensure that the parsnip fries cook evenly, flip them halfway through the baking time. This will help them to brown on all sides and become crispy.
- Serve the parsnip fries immediately: Parsnip fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are crispy and hot. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce.
Conclusion:
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 side dish. With their sweet and nutty flavor, parsnip fries are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
