Chipotle Honey Parsnips

Parsnips are always a surprise favorite for many – with their natural earthy sweetness. They make an excellent potato fry alternative, just with a little salt. But what if we amp it up a bit? What could be better than adding a good amount of honey sweetness, smoke, and fire? Meet chipotle honey parsnips. You’ll find yourself craving these.

The sticky honey sweetens up this smoked spicy chipotle pepper, and together they make for a perfect flavor combination on these crisp parsnip fries. The is one delicious side for fall, but it’s just as good any time of the year.

Of course, the obvious food pairing for these parsnips is turkey, but the recipe also works well with beef, pork, and even nut roast for a meat-free option. They are also a great snack on their own (and are pretty healthy too.)  For the best texture and flavor, eat them immediately upon cooling out of the oven. They do not re-heat well.
