Root Vegetable Fries
- 3 medium carrots (any color, I used purple here)
- 3 medium parsnips (or 6 small)
- 3 tablespoons (or more) melted coconut oil or olive oil
- a generous few pinches of sea salt
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- fresh ground black pepper
- Preheat oven to 400. Slice the parsnips and carrots into thin french fry strips (not too thin or they may burn).
- Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they're not overlapping much. Drizzle a generous amount of oil over them and toss with your hands a few times until they are well coated. Sprinkle with sea salt, paprika, and fresh black pepper.
- Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Check and stir or turn a bit to prevent sticking. Bake another 5 to 10 minutes or until tender and dark golden.
- Serve with dipping sauce of your choice. Mustard is fine if you're on the cleanse, ketchup is okay if you're on the gut protocol, and if you're not cleansing at all, I recommend homemade aioli!
