It's that time again! I forgot about how much I love this recipe! I found the best substitute for French fries - roasted parsnips! I was never a huge fan of French fries, but put them in front of me and I would eat them!!! I could have eaten the whole tray of these! Pre-heat the oven to 400. Peel the parsnips and cut them into French fry size pieces, spray them with some EVOO, add a little salt, pepper and oregano. Bake them for 30 minutes and there you have it, my version of French fries. I also add a dash or two of cayenne pepper and smoked hot paprika for some extra heat!
Fact: Parsnips provide similar nutritional benefits as potatoes. Some significant differences are that parsnips are lower in calories and contain only about 50 percent of the protein and vitamin C content of potatoes. However, parsnips do contain more fiber than potatoes. Even though both parsnips and potatoes provide good amounts of B vitamins, parsnips provide a much better source of folic acid.
