Garlic Parsnip Fries are an incredibly tasty side or snack. These plant-based and oil-free fries pair pair perfectly with creamy avocado dip.
Fries!! Gotta love 'em. They're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Normally they're covered in salt and paired with a tasty dipping sauce.
Fries don't have to be unhealthy if you omit the not-so-healthy ingredients. There's no need to fry fries in oil - they turn out just as tasty if they aren't fried. I guess you could argue that they aren't fries anymore, but with these Garlic Parsnip Fries you won't be worrying about whether or not they're fries, you'll just be eating them!
Parsnips are such an incredible veggie. They are a root vegetable, in the carrot and parsley family, and they pack a nutritional punch with tons of vitamin C and fiber. But the real kicker is that they are SO tasty. They've got a subtle sweetness and a deep earthy flavor. Parsnips make such tasty fries!

Ingredient Notes
- Parsnips: Parsnips can vary in size, so I recommend using 4 small parsnips or 2 large parsnips for this recipe.
- Spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Parsnips are great on their own but adding some garlic and onion elevates the flavor with some umami
- Cilantro: this is optional, but fun to stir into the cooked parsnips for a burst of freshness
How to make Garlic Parsnip Fries with Creamy Vegan Avocado Dip
