Serves 4
3 medium-sized parsnips
1/2 tsp. paprika
Kosher salt and pepper, to
taste
1-2 Tbs. cornstarch
cooking spray
Preheat oven to 450
degrees F. Place a large baking sheet with sides in the oven as it preheats.
Wash parsnips and peel away wax coating; pat dry. Slice the parsnips into
thick fry-like matchsticks, trying to keep them all the same size so they cook
evenly. Place the parsnip fries into a re-seal-able gallon bag and toss with
paprika and cornstarch, making sure all fries are evenly coated. Place
parsnips onto the preheated baking sheet and spray with nonstick spray; season
to taste with salt and pepper. Bake for about 15 minutes, then flip fries
over and bake for another 15 minutes. Fries are ready when they are
fork-tender and nicely browned on all sides and crispy. Serve with
desired dipping sauce.
