Ingredients

Parsnip Fries
  • 2 large parsnips
  • 6 carrots
  • nonstick spray
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt to taste
Tahini Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Tahini
  • 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce low sodium or GF are fine
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 2 tablespoon Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil optional for more sesame kick

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Peel your parsnips and carrots. Cut into sticks (around the size of your standard fast food french fry).
  3. In a large bowl, toss your sticks with the remaining fries ingredients, spritzing liberally with nonstick spray.
  4. Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet or two medium sized baking sheets. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes, flipping halfway, until browned. They'll shrink while cooking and crisp up a little more after being taken out of the oven.
  5. Whisk together all of the sauce ingredients and set aside while fries bake.
  6. Serve fries hot with a drizzle of sauce or a side of it for dunking.

Notes

  • Don't use the sad veggies from the bottom of your crisper drawer. If your carrots are bendy, they won't crisp up as nicely (though they'll still taste just as delicious).
