Why Parsnips?

Parsnips, often overlooked, are a nutrient-rich root vegetable that provides both a sweet and slightly nutty flavor when roasted or baked. Their wholesome texture becomes perfectly crispy without the oiliness, making them an excellent alternative to typical potato chips. Moreover, parsnips carry vitamins C, K, and numerous advantageous phytonutrients.

Lemon and Herbs: A Winning Combination

The combination of lemon and herbs like thyme and rosemary enlivens the parsnips with a fresh burst of flavor, making each chip a memorable bite. With the refreshing tang of lemon and aromatic essence of herbs, this dish not only pleases the palate but also fills your space with an inviting aroma.

Ingredients

  • 4 large parsnips, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Мethod of preparation

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Begin by slicing the peeled parsnips into thin discs using a mandoline or a sharp knife, ensuring uniform thickness for even baking. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Add the parsnip slices to this mixture, tossing them until they're evenly coated with the seasoning blend. Arrange the seasoned parsnip slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure none overlap for optimal crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges turn golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye during the final minutes to prevent burning. Once crisped to your satisfaction, remove from the oven and let the chips cool slightly. Enjoy these crispy lemon herb parsnip chips warm or at room temperature as a delightful snack or an impressive side dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
