Parsnip Fries

This is a MUST try! Believe me when I saw that they actually DO taste like a french fry. Now, it's not going to be a greasy salty bomb - but a great alternative when you want to feel like you're getting a little 'cheat' meal.

Parsnip Fries

5-6 large parsnips
1 tablespoon of melted organic coconut oil
pink himalayan sea salt
black pepper
onion powder
garlic powder
parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cut up your parsnips in fry slices. TIP: try to keep them nice and fat, the skinnier they are, the higher chance they'll burn - I learned this the hard way. Bigger = Better!

Once they're all cut up, add them to a large bowl. Drizzle your oil to coat each fry. Then add a few cracks of pink salt and pepper. Add a few shakes of onion powder and garlic powder. Toss all the parsnips and lay out on a pan and pop into the preheated oven.

Bake for 15 minutes, turn them over and again for another 15 minutes. Watch closely towards the end as the smaller pieces might be done before the larger pieces.

When they're done, give a minute or two to cool. They're best when eaten hot.  When they cool down they start to get tough.

Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top. Ready to eat!

Notice the potato-like consistency when you bite into it? Isn't it a great alternative? I know, I felt like I found a gold mind as well!

Pair with your favorite dipping sauce. For us, it was organic ketchup! But barbecue, hot sauce, mustard.... would all be good.

Note: you can use extra virgin olive oil in place of coconut but coconut it going to be a healthier oil for you to use.

Enjoy!
