What you’ll Need

Equipment: Peeler, Large bowl, parchment-lined baking tray, medium bowl.

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).

2. Place prepared carrot and parsnip sticks in a large bowl. To the same bowl, add in sunflower oil, garlic powder, paprika, chilli flakes, salt and black pepper. Toss to mix, until each “fry” is covered in the seasoning.

3. Spread out the fries evenly on a large parchment-lined baking tray and bake for approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Note, the amount of time may depend on the thickness of your fries and your oven. Cook until tender.

4. While the root vegetables are baking, make the dipping sauce. In a medium-size bowl, add in all sauce ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined.

5. Garnish fries with fresh chopped cilantro and dipping sauce on the side to serve.

6. Enjoy!
