If your nutritionist told you that you can't have french fries, get a new nutritionist! ;)

There are so many ways to do up your own french fries that are nearly as delicious as a trip to McDonalds, without the inflammatory backlash.

My fav ways?

Sweet potato (obviously)

Carrot

Kohlrabi

Rutabaga

and, my lastest love...

PARSNIP!

Parsnip is a surprisingly starchy veg (I'd say somewhere between a carrot and a rutabaga) that makes the PERFECT baked french fry.

Give it a try with my recipe and let me know what you think!

I've even had people think they were actual potato fries...
