Ingredients

Carrots – Vibrant orange carrots add a sweet crunch to these root vegetable fries.

Parsnips – Parsnips add an earthy sweet crunch. They are closely related to carrots and parsley and have a taste that is a mix of the two.

Beets – Dark red beets add color and an earthy sweet flavor to these mixed veggie fries.

Olive oil – A dash of extra-virgin olive oil adds flavor and help give the baked veggie fries a crispy exterior.

Cornstarch – (aka cornflour in Europe) Lightly coating the root vegetables in cornstarch helps to give the an extra crispy and crunchy bite when baked. Substitutions: Potato starch will also work.

Seasonings – These savory veggie fries don’t need much seasoning because they are already so flavorful. Add a dash of salt, black pepper and paprika. Substitutions: Add any seasonings you like. Garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, cayenne pepper, etc. are all great options!

How to Make Roasted Vegetable Fries

Step 1: Prep the Veggie Fries

First preheat your oven and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Wash, peel and cut the root vegetables into strips the szie of classic French fries, roughly 1/3″ thick.

Coat the veggie strips in the oil, cornstarch and seasonings then spread them out into one even layer on the baking sheet.

Step 2: Bake the Vegetable Fries

Bake the root veggie fries for about 30 minutes, turning them over with a spatula halfway through the cook time. They are ready when the are crispy, golden brown and cooked through.

Enjoy them immediately while they are still hot from the oven.

Storage

Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat to serve.

How to Freeze Vegetable fries

To make these veggie fries ahead of time and freeze them, spread them out onto a parchment paper lined sheet pan after they are seasoned. Then flash freeze them on the baking tray until they are frozen through.

Transfer the frozen vegetable fries to a freezer bag, label it with the date and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Bake them straight from the freezer and add another 10 minutes or so to the baking time.
