Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb carrots
  • 1 lb parsnips
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoon grated parmesan
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Peel your carrots and parsnips and slice them into strips. Try to make your fries as evenly as possible as this will help them all cook the same way – there’s nothing worse than having half your tray burnt or undercooked because your slices were too varied!
  • Place the carrots and parsnips in a ziplock bag with the cornstarch. Seal the bag and shake well to mix, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
  • Empty your bag into a bowl, taking care to shake off any extra cornstarch that may be on your fries.  Mix the fries with the olive oil, salt and pepper and place onto a baking tray. 
  • Sprinkle parmesan over the fries and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. Flip fries and bake another 5-10 minutes, keeping a careful eye on them so they don’t burn. (Note: your cooking time may vary depending on how thinly or thickly you cut your fries.)
  • Top fries with chopped parsley and an additional sprinkle of parmesan, if desired.
  • Serve with a sauce of your choice! We love these fries with ketchup and sriracha, sriracha mayo, and garlic mayo (all shown above).
