Confession: In 70+ years of life, I never ate a parsnip. 😳 As a foodie and a vegetable lover, don't know why that is. So I was excited to finally give them a try when they came up in the Cookpad challenge. Still, since it was something new, I just wanted a small amount to sample, and something simple and quick to prepare. This recipe fit that criteria, PLUS it included a seasoning blend I'd never even heard of: Dukkah.

These were very good! Even my sister, who's definitely NOT a veggie eater, loved them. My only "complaint" is they don't get crispy, and crispy is how I like my fries. But we'll for sure be trying more parsnip recipes in the future!

Ingredients

10 minutes
1 serving
  1. 1Parsnip
  2. Olive oil
  3. Salt & pepper, to taste
  4. Dukkah seasoning blend

Cooking Instructions

10 minutes
  1. 1

    Our grocery didn't carry Dukkah, so I ordered from Amazon.

  2. 2

    Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Peel the parsnip and cut into fries. Toss with a little olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Place in a single layer in air fryer basket. Cooking time depends on the size/thickness of your fries. Mine took about 10 minutes to brown. During last 1-2 minutes of cooking, sprinkle with a liberal amount of Dukkah. Don't add any sooner or the Dukkah will burn. Enjoy!

Thank you Maggie! It is the starch that keeps the fries limp. Potatoes, 30 grams per cup, parsnips, 13 grams. Soak your parsnips three times as long as you soak your french fries, then dry, then airfry. Let me know if your sister likes them.

My 5 siblings and I were raised in the 1950s and 60s midwest by a major foodie dad who was a great cook. We all learned to cook at a young age. I love to cook for my 2 daughters, 7 grandkids, 8 great-grandkids, and extended family. My 4 year old great-grandson makes my day when he says "Nan sure is a good cooker!". :-). I'm trying to get all my favorite recipes saved here so my family and friends all have easy access to them even after I'm gone. My Cookpad collection is their inheritance, so I try to add my comments and memories to each recipe; that way they'll remember me with a smile when they use the recipes years from now. Recently I've called on my grandkids (all adults and avid cooks) to send me their own favorite recipes, with their prep photos, so we can collect everyone's favorites together in one place.
