Hi all, I hope you are having a great Monday! I am still in NYC and loving it. Shopping, sites, Rock of Ages, and of course the food has been amazing. I will give you a full update on Wednesday when I return. until then, put these in your oven and wait for the crunch.
On to the Food
Who said chips had to be made with potatoes? Not me that’s for sure.
Today I wanted to create something a little different and of course use one of my favorite kitchen products— a mandolin. If you have never tried this slicer, it is a must-have in your kitchen. Parsnips have a very unique flavor but there is something about them that I just love. For this recipe I thought I would kick them up and add a little cinnamon and honey. They turned out almost candy like and were very yummy.
Let’s just say I probably should have peeled a few more parsnips into the mix but it was all I had left. This is great for an appetizer or even a side dish with a nice piece of fish.
Ingredients
- 1 Large Parsnip
- 1 Tbsp. Honey
- 1 Tsp. Cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- Ground pepper
Method
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and peel the parsnip
- Using your slicer, slice the parsnip into discs.
- In a large bowl toss the parsnips slices with olive oil, pepper, cinnamon and honey.
- Arrange on a pre lined baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
- Turn parsnips after 15 minutes and continue cooking.
- Remove when golden brown.
- ENJOY!
Zesty Tip: Be careful not to burn these little chips. Because of the high sugar content they will burn if left unattended. I like to move them to the top rack after the first 15 minutes and turning once. This will allow them to dry out and crisp up without burning.
Talk back in Canada. Have a great start to your week.
Take care

Those look amazing!! I’ve only had parsnips a few times, but I bet they taste SO good in chip form!
What a FANTASTIC idea ~ I never thought of using parsnips. Thanks for the idea Z ~ now I am sure I will obsess on these until I make them!

Those sound fantastic! I’ve always been at a loss for what to do with a parsnip – now I know!
I’ve never had a parsnip – these look incredible!
Wow! Those chips look fabulous! I’m going to have to try them soon.
These are amazing looking Zesty! I have never tried parsnips but now I’m craving them! I’m also in the market for a slicer like that, do you use yours often? I would love some help in the slicing dept, especially when making homemade fries and chips!
Thanks so much for the shout out!
What a great idea! I LOVE parsnips…now if only I had a mandolin slicer!
p.s. voted for you!
OK, I need to get a slicer now. I’m imagining all the awesome chips I could make…
I’ve always wanted to try parsnip, but I never knew what to make with them… now I know!
Do you think these would work with a rutabaga? I used part of one last night, but still have half and I need something to do with it!
Thanks!
These look fantastic!
Wow never thought to use turnips, great idea! I love their flavor, so I bet these would be awesome
OMG. These were amazing. I am sorry I only used one parsnip instead of three. Thanks Zesty.
I use parsnips in stew, but never thought of using them this way. What a unique idea!
