Roasted Parsnip and Turnip Fries

Roasted Parsnip and Turnip Fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional potato fries. They're made with a simple blend of olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cooked in an air fryer until golden brown and crispy. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce for a satisfying snack or side dish.

Parsnips and turnips are two of the most underrated vegetables in the world. They're both packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, and they're both low in calories and fat. But what really makes them special is their unique flavor. Parsnips have a slightly sweet, nutty flavor, while turnips have a more peppery, bitter flavor. Combined, they create a complex and satisfying flavor that's perfect for roasting.
