Paprika Parsnip Fries
I feel like I’m cheating on my beloved sweet potato fries with these of the parsnip variety. But not to worry, sweet potato, I will never leave you.
Sometimes I like to make fries out of other types of vegetables rather than just potatoes. Parsnips are in the carrot family, so you’re getting tons of good vitamins, fiber, and they even have some anti-inflammatory properties. Fries that are good for you, but still totally decadent? I’ll take it.
I spiced them up a bit with some paprika to give them a little kick, bake them, and then dip them in this amazing pesto. Seriously, you won’t even miss your regular french fries.
