Parsnip Chips

Parsnip chips are a fun way to eat parsnips! They seriously taste like an amazing chip.

Did you think parsnips were only served as a side dish? Parsnips actually make amazing chips. For this recipe, I paired them with ranch seasoning.

Parsnip Chips Tools

For this recipe you will need:

• Deep fryer or 1 large pot 
• Instant-read thermometer or try using this thermometer that you set with your goal temperature and it beeps when the meat has reached it so you don’t have to keep checking it.
• Slotted spoon 
• Paper towel 
• Mandoline slicer 
• 1 Large bowl
• Airtight storage container for leftovers 

Parsnip Chips Ingredients

To make homemade parsnip chips, you will need these ingredients.

• a parsnip (peeled or unpeeled)
• Preferred frying fat (coconut oil, beef tallow, duck fat, etc.)
• Sea salt or seasoning of your choice (pictured with ranch seasoning recipe, store-bought kind here)

How to Make Parsnip Chips

Preheat the oil in your deep fryer to 375°F. 

Set a mandoline slicer on the thinnest setting and slice the parsnip.

Place the parsnip slices in the fryer basket. Only fill the basket halfway to ensure even cooking. Carefully lower the basket into the hot oil. 

Fry for 5–10 minutes or to light golden color. until both sides are crisp. 

Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel. Repeat step 3 with all the parsnip slices. Sprinkle with sea salt or preferred seasoning. Consume right away or store in an airtight container.

Note: Consider using a glove like this to protect your hand from cuts when using a mandolin slicer.

You can season your chips with my BBQ Seasoning, Nacho Cheese Seasoning, All Dressed Seasoning or Ranch Seasoning.

How can I bake parsnip chips?

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the parsnip slices in a mixing bowl. Add the coconut oil and mix until the slices are coated.

Arrange the slices on the baking sheet in one layer. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, until the edges are brown. Chips in the middle might require more baking time.

How can I make air fryer parsnip chips?

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and add the parsnip slices to the basket (add only half if your basket is small).

Cook for 5 minutes, then check the basket and shake, continue cooking for 5-minute intervals, until they are crispy.

How long will these chips last?

They won’t last long because they are delicious! If you have leftovers store them in the fridge in an airtight container for no more than 5 days.
