Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large parsnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (for dip)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (for dip)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the parsnips and cut them into thin, fry-shaped strips about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the parsnip strips with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned parsnips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries bake, prepare the yogurt dip. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, fresh dill (chopped finely), honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice or salt to your preference.
Once the parsnip fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two.
Serve the fries warm with the yogurt dip on the side for a delicious and healthy snack or side dish.
