Ingredients
- 3 large Carrots
- 3 large Parsnips
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the carrots and parsnips, then cut them into thin, fry-like strips that are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the veggie strips with the olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the oiled veggies and toss again to coat. The cornstarch helps create a crispy exterior.
Step 5
Add the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned veggie strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is enough space between them so they roast instead of steaming.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
