Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitutions:
- Make sure to peel parsnips first- You want to get rid of the skin first before turning them into fries.
- Slice parsnips into 2-3 inch sticks- This makes for the perfect size and allows for the parsnips to bake evenly.
- It's ok for fries to get clumped up together in the oven- As parsnip fries bake in the oven and cheese begins to melt, it will cause for some if the fries to clump up. I personally like this, but if you don't, simply spread them out more before sprinkling with parmesan mixture. Or just break them apart as you serve them.
- No avocado oil?- You can use any other oil like coconut or olive.
- Substitute for Parsnips- Try this recipe with carrots! So good!
