Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds parsnips, about 4 large ones
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chile powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Peel the parsnips and slice off the root.
  • Cut into thick fries as evenly as possible.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, chile powder, garam masala, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the parsnips and toss to coat.
  • Place on a parchment or foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Roast for 40 to 45 minutes, tossing the chips halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  • Chips are done when they're lightly caramelized and a knife inserted in the chips goes in and comes out without much resistance.
