Thymey Parsnip Fries
Soft fries with a parsnip kick and a wonderful thyme flavor.
2 medium parsnips (cut into French fry sized pieces)
1 tsp thyme
½ tsp garlic
2 Tbsp olive oil
Wash parsnips and cut them into sticks about 3.5 inches long and approximately ½ inch square.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Put all parsnip sticks into a bowl and sprinkle with oil, thyme, and garlic. Mix thoroughly.
Lay fries on a cookie sheet/jelly roll pan (with foil if you do not want the fries to stick at all to the pan) and spread them out evenly in one layer.
Cook them for about 15-20 minutes or until the fries are tender.
The flavor of the fries will depend on the sweetness of the parsnips themselves. So far I have not experienced a really bitter one, but they can be a bit spicy.
