Parsnips and yams are two root vegetables that are often overlooked, but they're both packed with nutrients and flavor. Parsnips are a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber and potassium. Yams are a good source of vitamins A, C, and B6, as well as fiber, potassium, and manganese. These roasted parsnip and yam chips are a great way to enjoy the health benefits of these two vegetables. They're also a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a healthy way to satisfy my cravings for potato chips.
