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

Healthy Chili Garlic Baked Parsnip Fries

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!
