Baked Parsnip Fries With Honey Mustard Sauce
These baked parsnip fries are such an easy, delicious way to reap the many health benefits of parsnips. Served with the most amazing honey mustard sauce for dipping!
Making “fries” out of root vegetables is such a fun, delicious, and easy way to make sure you’re getting enough veggies in your day.
These oven-baked parsnip fries are beyond simple to make. Just cut them up, toss them in olive oil, pop them in the oven for about 15 minutes, and you’ve got a tasty veggie side dish to enjoy with any meal.
I paired these parsnip fries with a homemade honey mustard sauce, as the flavours pair beautifully. That said, you can always skip the sauce and serve them with whatever you’d like – a little ketchup or mayo always works well!
Recipe Ingredients
You’ll need the following ingredients to make this simple recipe:
- parsnips
- olive oil
- mayonnaise
- mustard (I used dijon)
- honey
- white wine vinegar
- garlic powder
- cayenne pepper
- salt
- pepper
How To Make Parsnip Fries
Parsnip fries are so easy to make at home!
Start by preheating your oven to 425F and lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Then, peel and slice parsnips into thin (approx 1/2-inch thick) strips. To cut the parsnip, I like to slice it in half first so that you have smaller pieces of the vegetable to work with.
Place the cut parsnips onto the baking sheet and toss them in olive oil and a generous amount of salt. Spread them into a single layer, and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway. They should be lightly browned – not burnt – when done.
How To Make Honey Mustard Sauce
While the parsnips are in the oven, make the honey mustard sauce to dip them in!
To do so, simply whisk together mayo, mustard, honey, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
If you’d prefer to serve the parsnip fries with something else, you totally can. A classic ketchup and mayo always works well (my favourite brands are tagged!)
Nutrition & Health Benefits Of Parsnips
Parsnips are a type of tuberous root vegetable that pack in a nutritious punch:
- dietary fibre, with 1 cup of parsnips containing 6.5 grams (26% of your daily needs)
- vitamins C, K, E, B6, folate, and thiamine
- minerals, like magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc
- antioxidants, like vitamin C
