Roasted vegetables are an excellent way to make your plant-based meals particularly delicious. And there are endless combinations of flavors we can try in order to mix it up every night. These ginger rosemary parsnip fries are a favorite new addition to our rotation! And this time I made them “no oil” to help with reducing the amount of oil we have in our recipes, and it turned out well!
Add some red pepper flakes to this low fat recipe as an option to spice it up even more. The amount you choose is based on how much heat you can handle!
These parsnip fries also go well with many dips, including hummus, ketchup, and our favorite lemon tahini spread!

Hi, is this fresh rosemary or powered? Also with the ginger….are you using fresh or powered?

Hello! Minced from a jar is equivalent to fresh – can use either. Rosemary is fresh (sorry wasn’t aware you could get it powdered!)
