Chili Garlic Baked Parsnip Fries

I love the hint of sweetness from the parsnips combined with the chili, garlic and sea salt in these easy garlic baked parsnip fries, it’s the perfect flavour combo!

Just like their other root vegetable friends, parsnips are full of nutrition and make a great addition to a healthy, balanced diet.

• low in fat

• high in fibre
• a good source of folate

I’d recommend serving these with a homemade veggie burger on a crisp iceberg lettuce bun for a fun and healthy alternative to deep-fried pub food! They’re also perfect on their own as a snack.

They’re crispy on the outside yet tender on the inside, a little sweet, a little spicy, a little salty and a nice and garlicky. You can easily customize them with whatever spices you like though!
