Make Homemade Parsnip Crisps

Parsnips are root vegetables that can substitute for carrots in many recipes due to their close relationship.


Parsnip crisps are a healthy vegetable snack that's easy to make, and they are an alternative to store-bought chips and crisps that filled with grease. Although many people fry parsnip crisps, a healthier and less caloric way to make them it to bake the parsnip strips in the oven. These oven-baked crisps can be served as a snack or for various occasions and holiday gatherings. Add this to my Recipe Box.


Instructions


1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.


2. Wash the parsnips and use a potato peeler to peel them.


3. Shave thin strips of parsnips from the root with the potato peeler. Place the strips into a bowl.


4. Sprinkle three tablespoons of olive oil onto the parsnip shavings and toss the parsnips. All surfaces should be covered with oil.


5. Lay a non-stick baking sheet on a flat surface and place the parsnip strips on the baking sheet.


6. Place the sheet into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to turn the strips every few minutes until they are light brown and crispy.


7. Remove the crisps from the oven and slide the non-stick baking sheet onto a countertop. Lift the crisps from the baking sheet with a fork and place them on a kitchen roll.


8. Drizzle sea salt onto the parsnip crisps while they are still hot and fresh out of the oven.


9. Allow the crisps to cool. Serve them or store them in an airtight container.
