Ingredients

Parsnip Fries

2 large parsnips
6 carrots
Nonstick spray
2 teaspoons sesame oil
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt to taste

Tahini Sauce

2 tablespoons Tahini
1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce low sodium or GF are fine
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon mirin
2 tablespoon Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar
½ teaspoon sesame oil optional for more sesame kick

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Peel your parsnips and carrots. Cut into sticks (around the size of your standard fast food french fry).
In a large bowl, toss your sticks with the remaining fries ingredients, spritzing liberally with nonstick spray.
Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet or two medium sized baking sheets. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes, flipping halfway, until browned. They'll shrink while cooking and crisp up a little more after being taken out of the oven.
Whisk together all of the sauce ingredients and set aside while fries bake.
Serve fries hot with a drizzle of sauce or a side of it for dunking.

Notes

Don't use the sad veggies from the bottom of your crisper drawer. If your carrots are bendy, they won't crisp up as nicely (though they'll still taste just as delicious).
