Vegan Parsnip Crisps: Crispy Crunchy Appeal
Crisps are normally made from potatoes of course, and then you have ones made with sweet potatoes, but these are very similar, albeit offering a slightly more unusual flavor. Parsnips are tasty and versatile. They can be roasted or used to make a mash, or they might go in a soup or stew.
Parsnips are lovely roasted and served alongside a roast, even a nut roast if you are going the vegan or vegetarian route, but they can also be used to make healthy recipes like the following appetizer. Or try grating them finely and adding them to pakoras.
