Recipe Notes
These are a great alternative to French Fries (even the oven baked version). They have about 3 times the fiber of fries made from potatoes and are sweet and delicious. The rosemary, olive oil and pepper give them a fantastic flavor, but you could use almost any herb or spice that appeals to you.
Oven fried foods are just like deep-fried ones, if you handle them right. Most of the time, you have to eat the dish right away. These Parsnip French Fries, for instance, will keep for all of about 20 minutes (about the amount of time as ones that have been deep fried).
