I remember the first time I made these parsnip chips—I was experimenting with root veggies and discovered they crisp up beautifully in the oven.
I love how they satisfy that crunchy snack craving without the guilt.
The trick is to slice them nice and thin and use a drizzle of olive oil to get that perfect crispness.
These chips have become my little ritual when I need a moment of quiet indulgence.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Parsnips can be a bit unpredictable in sweetness, so I always pick firm, fresh ones at the market. If you want to spice things up, a pinch of cayenne pepper adds a lovely warmth. And if you're out of parsnips, sweet potatoes work just as well and bring their own delightful sweetness.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to soak the parsnip slices in cold water for about 30 minutes before baking—that extra crunch is worth it!
- •To store them, I use a glass jar on the counter. It keeps them fresh and makes for a pretty display.
- •If you want an even crunchier texture, try baking them on a wire rack instead of a baking sheet.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll sprinkle a bit of smoked paprika for a smoky kick.
- •When I'm feeling adventurous, I'll swap parsnips for beets or sweet potatoes for a vibrant color palette.
Storage & Freezing
Store parsnip chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To re-crisp, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make parsnip chips without oil?
Yes, you can bake parsnip chips without oil by using a non-stick baking sheet or parchment paper. However, oil helps achieve a crispier texture.
How do I store leftover parsnip chips?
Store leftover parsnip chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They may lose some crispiness but can be re-crisped in the oven.
