chili cheese parsnip fries
“Embark on a flavorful journey with our tempting creation—Chili Cheese Parsnip Fries. A twist on the classic, these fries redefine the art of snacking with a bold and savory kick.”
Phew.
I’m back.
For a bit.
Did I mention I head back to Kansas City on Friday for a wedding? Yep, Yep. Another good friend is getting married and since I would never miss the chance to see my cute little niece, Josie, we are Kansas City bound on Friday. But for right now, it feels good to be back in Denver.
I had a blasty-blast of a time in the Bahamas catching up with old friends, sitting on the beach with fruity cocktails, and watching one of my good friends get married. I definitely want to go back with Mr. B and do a little scuba diving action. The water was so clear and WARM. Plus, even though I was only there for four days, it really is a quick getaway so if traveling to Mexico makes you want to pee your pants the Bahamas is a great option.
Anyways, as I play catch up and get ready to turnaround again this week, I thought I would distract y’all with these chili cheese parsnip fries. Do you ever have those moments, where you are thinking that watching paint dry sounds more fun than doing the plank a day challenge and then all of a sudden you have a mad craving for chili cheese fries? No? Just me? Fantastic.
I had one of those moments a couple of weeks ago. I was actually doing a planking exercise at eleven o’clock at night, and all of a sudden I wanted to eat chili cheese fries at the same time. Eating chili cheese fries while planking es no bueno, so what’s a girl to do?
Well, I figured the best way to satisfy both worlds is to offer a different option. Why not make chili cheese parsnip fries? It’s totally a win-win healthier situation. Bake some parsnips, warm up some chili, and top with cheese. I’m telling you, this version of the chili cheese fries is not scandalous compared to it’s Outback friend and won’t set you back a single bit.
Who says you can’t have your fries and plank too?
“Conclude your snacking adventure with the irresistible allure of Chili Cheese Parsnip Fries. A delicious twist that leaves your taste buds enchanted and craving more.”
Oh Gawsh!! I just want to eat that entire basket!
Me too! Anything with chili and cheese is a winner in my book!
Welcome back! I was secretly wanting to be in the Bahamas as well. Love these fries.
Gurrrrl, you gotta go! It’s so easy and relaxing. Way better than Mexico in my opinion.
oh yes!! These are simply amazing Lauren!!
Thanks, Tieghan! I hope you had a fun weekend!
Glad you had a fun time in the Bahamas…I’m feeling like I could use a tropica vacation now 🙂 Parsnip fries?? I’m freaking out of these! As if parsnip fries weren’t brilliant enough, you haaaad to smother them in delicious chili and cheese! Ugh so good!
Thanks, friend! Chili and cheese makes everything an 11/10! And yes, you totally need to go to the Bahamas! So easy and fun!
Pretty darn creative girl! I loooooove parsnips! PS.. chili and cheese on fries are my weakness… good thing these are made healthy by using parsnips! 😉
Ha! You and me both girl! I hope you are well. I miss your face!!! 🙂
My love for parsnips runs deep. Loving these fries!
Thanks, Rachel! I hope you had a great weekend!
I thought craving of cheesey chili-y things was the Pavlovian response to exercise? Cause I’m always craving something to counter act all the hard work I just did at the gym! Always! And these are now officially top of the list.
I love parsnips big time! I have a feeling I’d love them even more covered with chili and cheese…..de-lish!!
You know it! Chili and cheese are a parsnips best friend!
So much travel–it sounds like you’re having the busiest summer ever! A plate of delicious fries would absolutely hit the spot right now. I always think of parsnips as fall food, but I bet they’re actually super sweet & delicious right now!
It has been a crazy summer. I didn’t realize how much traveling I have been doing until I was excited to come home and clean! There’s no place like home.
I want these right this minute!!! AND I LOVE GINGER BEER!!!!
I knew we were friends for a reason 🙂
I really just want to dig right in!
Thanks, Angie! I’ll put an order in for you on the fly!
Okay, my husband always has a stash of chili frozen in our fridge even in the summer months. But I’m never too eager to eat it because it seems boring..this is a perfect way to change things up! Also like the Amy’s option for an even quicker fix when we don’t have ours in the freezer. I love your recipes, Lauren!
Right?! Amy’s is the best when you need chili ASAP! Especially when fries are in the picture:)
You are speaking my love language! Chili and cheese is a love language right? Glad to know I’m not the only one who dreams of deliciousness while exercising. It’s like my brain is thinking of all the food I can consume due to the calories I’m burning!
I swear its the only way I can get through a workout! Bring on the chili and cheese!
Girl I can’t even tell you how much I have been craving chili cheese fries lately. But junk food and marathon training don’t exactly mix well for me. however, parsnips are definitely not junk food. You are my hero!!
Oh goodness! I remember craving the craziest food combos while I was training for my marathon. I hope your training is going well!
When I plank all I can think about is desserts and how many desserts I must have eaten to have to up my plank game. Now I will think about chili cheese fries.
Ha! Now I will probably think about cupcakes:)
I mean, if you insist.
Chili cheese fries are definitely crave worthy and look at you making them healthier!! Love it!!
I’ve never thought about using parsnip to make these a bit healthier – such a genius idea!
I’ve never been to Kansas City, but I’ve known so many amazing people that live in or around there It makes me feel like it must be one of the most amazing places in the US.
And those fries make me want to cry happy tears.
This is an amazing idea. I love parsnips…kind of more than most things. What a smart girl you are!! Have fun at the wedding!!
Wait…huh? Veggies covered in chili and cheese? Delicious! I still deserve these if I haven’t done any planks, right? I hope so.
I love the use of parsnip in these – you’re a genius!
This recipe is great and has me swooning all over! Need to make asap!
Welcome back from your trip – it sounds so fun! Just like these parsnip fries slathered in all the fixins. I’ll take one whole basket, please!
I have never had a parsnip, but I’ll be damned if you aren’t making me wanna run right out and find some just so I can try this!
Glad you’re back safe and sound and it looks like your trip was amazing!
