Here's one for you to try before the parsnips run out.

Peel a couple of parsnips.
Then with the peeler shave as many strips of the parsnips as possible.
Place the shaved parsnips in a dish and sprinkle with olive oil.
Crush black pepper, salt and thyme in a pestle and mortar (about 2 level teaspoons).
Sprinkle three quarters of the crushed ingredients over the parsnips.
Cover a flat tray with aluminum foil.
Place the parsnip shavings on the foil.
Cook in an oven set at 180ºC until just turning brown.
Remove and place on a plate until crisp.
Sprinkle remaining crushed salt, pepper and thyme.


Delicious

Now that's something I think I will be trying. Roughly how long does it take until they are just turning brown, Fisherman?

[Fisherman]

Hi Argyllie
They start turning brown in 10 minutes are so, unfortunately or fortunately they are addictive. Not good for the old diet but what the hell.

I just did a quick batch whilst I am in cooking mode - verdict 10!

I like beetroot crisps as well - do you cook them the same way?

[arugula]

Joy, I love them too. I've just found a recipe on the internet - happens to be on Mumsnet - which basically prepares and cooks them the same way, but without mentioning seasoning. I also looked at an American recipe which requires them to be fried.

I might try these but in my food deydrator without the oil - would save lots of calories!  Will let you know if they are any good.

Thank you -- much healthier than the previous fried ones I've made too
