Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Carrots
- 3 large Parsnips
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots and parsnips, then cut them into thin, fry-like strips that are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the veggie strips with the olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the oiled veggies and toss again to coat. The cornstarch helps create a crispy exterior.
Add the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned veggie strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is enough space between them so they roast instead of steaming.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
