Why suitable for low histanmine diet

These Crispy Baked Parsnip Fries are ideal for a low histamine diet as they only use parsnips, olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional paprika - all of which are low in histamine. They avoid using the common high-histamine ingredients like vinegar or hot spices that are often used in typical fries and dipping sauces.

Tipps

Trimming Parsnips

When trimming parsnips, be sure to cut off the top and tail, then peel them thoroughly. The inner core should also be removed if it is too tough.

Consistent Slicing

Try to slice the parsnips into evenly sized sticks. This ensures that they will cook evenly and be crispy all the way through.

Avoid Crowding

Avoid crowding the parsnip strips on the baking tray. Crowding leads to steaming rather than roasting, and you might end up with soggy fries.

Turning Fries

Remember to turn the fries midway during baking. This helps to cook both sides evenly leading to perfectly crisp fries.

Serving Suggestion

These parsnip fries are fantastic on their own but can also be served with low-histamine dipping sauces for extra flavor. Consider a homemade garlic aioli made with fresh garlic, mayonnaise and a squeeze of lemon.
