Carrot & Parsnip Fries

Liven up plain old winter vegetables with these baked Carrot & Parsnip Fries!

This time of year I’m all about the root vegetables. Boiled, mashed, roasted or blitzed into a soup. There’s just something so comforting about big chucks of these earthy veg when the cold weather sets in.

Unfortunately my fussy eater doesn’t agree with me on this one! And I spend most of the winter coaxing her to try morsels of these vegetables.

This year however I have a new trick up my sleeve. I discovered with these Butternut Squash Fries that if I cut and cook vegetables to look like fries then I am guaranteed that she will at least try them.

So I thought I would give it a go with some Carrot & Parsnip Fries as well.

I am so pleased to say that these went down really well. She realised pretty quickly that they weren’t standard fries but she was happy to eat a few with minimal complaint!

I really enjoyed them too as they were a nice change to standard boiled carrots and parsnips.

I served them with creme fraiche as a side dish but ketchup, mayo or even garlic aioli would work just as well.

My recipes uses one teaspoon of paprika but you could add a little more if you prefer more of a kick.
