Roasted Carrots and Parsnip Fries

A salty-sweet dish of oven-roasted carrots and parsnips is a quick, healthy alternative to traditional French fries.

5 medium carrots
3 medium parsnips
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
½ tsp. coarse sea salt
¼ tsp. red pepper flakes

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C/180°C fan, Gas Mark 6). Place an oven rack in the center of the oven.

Peel carrots and parsnips and halve crosswise. Slice lengthwise into ¼" thick planks. Slice lengthwise again to make ¼" thick fries.

Place on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with oil, salt, and red pepper flakes. Spread into a single layer and roast, turning veggies once, until crisp and golden brown in places, about 20 minutes.

Makes 4 servings.
