    You want fries, and you want them now. But you want to avoid potatoes, so what do you do? Take a deep breath, gather a tiny bit of patience, grab your peeler and start peeling.

    All great meals and all mouthwatering snacks begin with basic kitchen prep and a dream. Can you smell the parsnips roasting in the oven yet?

    Herb Parsnip Fries

    Parsnips are sweet little roots, and they have the ability to make you extremely happy because they taste so darn good.

    Choose the best ones, though, to avoid parsnip fry disappointment. The bigger, the better does not apply here; larger roots tend to get woody or spongy, and the cores need to be removed.

    Pick the most firm, small to medium parsnips instead, as you want them to be dense all the way through. Flavor aside, parsnips are beneficial for your health, given that they contain high levels of potassium, manganese, and magnesium, as well as being rich in dietary fiber.

    Let's be honest; they are fairly cheap and slightly unpopular, yet tasty when cooked with plenty of herbs - maybe they can become more sought-after if we spread the word about parsnip fries.

    Roast them the right way, and they will be crisp on the outside, slightly mushy within, and perfect for dipping in a spicy sriracha sauce or a lighter-hearted homemade mayonnaise, or you could mix the two together for one bowl of amazing dressing - it's moreish stuff.
