Roasted Parsnip and Turnip Fries

These roasted parsnip and turnip fries are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They're easy to make and can be cooked in the oven or air fryer. The parsnips and turnips are peeled, cut into fries, and then tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper. They're then roasted until tender and golden brown.

Parsnips and turnips are two of the most underrated root vegetables. They're both packed with nutrients and have a naturally sweet flavor. But they can be a little bland when cooked on their own. That's why I love roasting them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. The roasting process caramelizes the natural sugars in the vegetables, giving them a delicious, slightly sweet flavor. And the olive oil and seasonings add an extra layer of flavor and complexity.
