Ingredients
  

4 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into fry shapes

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Parsnips: In a large bowl, toss the cut parsnips with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.

      Season: Add the minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using) to the bowl. Mix well to ensure all the parsnips are thoroughly seasoned.

        Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the seasoned parsnips and toss gently to coat. The cheese should stick nicely to the oil and seasonings.

          Spread on Baking Sheet: Arrange the parsnip fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them, which helps them get crispy.

            Roast in the Oven: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy. Flip the parsnips halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.

              Garnish: Once out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch and extra flavor.

                Serve: Serve the Garlic Parmesan Roasted Parsnip Fries hot, with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty kick.
