These Parmesan garlic veggie fries are a tasty side dish or snack and a healthy change from potatoes. Oven roasted and topped with salty cheese make these a delicious and healthy dish!
‘m a big fan of veggie noodles. I made roasted veggie noodles, turnip noodles, beet noodles, and I regularly eat zucchini noodles instead of pasta. Now I’m expanding my horizons to veggie fries. I had a few parsnips and even some celeriac so I thought I’d give it a try. Of course when you add garlic and Parmesan you can probably roast anything and it will taste great, but I really enjoyed these and would definitely make them again.
I tried to cut my vegetables into beautiful, uniform sized fries. However, I was hungry and in a hurry so they are not beautiful but roughly the same size. (A good mandoline will make perfectly cut fries if you have one.) I also microwaved them for a few minutes ahead of time to get them a bit soft. The next time I make these I will not precook the summer squash. They became too soft but the root vegetables and green beans needed the few minutes of microwaving. By the way I used carrots, parsnips, celeriac, green beans and summer squash.
After I precooked the veggies, I mixed them in a big bowl with some olive oil, garlic and Parmesan cheese. I spread them evenly on a cookie sheet and roasted them on high for about 20 minutes until they started to brown and were tender. Above is how the looked coming out of the oven.

All you need to do is plate them up and sprinkle a bit more cheese if you like. This was a really nice change from potato fries and a good way to use left over vegetables you have in your refrigerator. Enjoy!
