I love French Fries but I also try to eat healthy. What is a girl to do?!? I can’t give up my favorite salty snack! Here is the perfect solution- carrot and parsnip fries! Tossed in honey and salt, they really hit the spot when you need a snack. This recipe is also great to make alongside burger or hot dogs. So forget about boring old potato fries and step up your fry game with this recipe. It is quick to make, totally delicious and much better for you than deep frying some potatoes!

 

Ingredients:

4 parsnips, peeled, cut diagonally then into strips

4 carrots, peeled, cut diagonally then into strips

2 tablespoons grapeseed oil

2 tablespoons honey

coarse salt and fresh ground pepper

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine oil and honey at the bottom of a large bowl. Add carrots and parsnips to bowl and gently toss until all your vegetables are coated in oil and honey mixture.

Place vegetables onto a large baking sheet. Sprinkle liberally with coarse salt and fresh ground pepper.

Bake for 15 minutes. Take baking sheet out and using a spatula carefully flip over carrots and parsnips. Bake for another 5-7 minutes until veggies are nicely and evenly browned. Season to taste with additional coarse salt and pepper.
