Ingredients

  • 3 large parsnips peeled
  • 3 large carrots peeled
  • 2 large beets peeled
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • Cut parsnips, carrots and beets into 1/3" thick strips, resembling french fries.
  • Toss the cut vegetables in oil, cornstarch and seasonings and arrange them into a single layer on the baking sheet. 
  • Bake at 425˚F for about 30 minutes, turning them once with a spatula 1/2 through cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve them right away with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • These veggie fries are best eaten hot out of the oven. 
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat to serve.
  • To cook veggie fries in an air fryer, bake them at the same temperature and shake them every 5 minutes until they are cooked through and crispy, about 20 minutes.
