I've always believed that eating healthy shouldn't feel like a chore. Growing up, my mom always found creative ways to get us kids to eat our veggies. I remember one time she made this insane vegetable casserole and told us it was a space stew from another planet. I was hooked! It wasn’t until years later that I realized that 'alien delicacy' was just broccoli and carrots. That creativity inspired me to develop recipes that are not only nutritious but also fun and appealing to everyone, including the pickiest eaters. And that's exactly what this Rainbow Vegetable Fries Medley is all about.
What makes this recipe special is the variety of vegetables involved. Each vegetable contributes its unique flavor, texture, and nutritional benefits. From the sweetness of carrots to the earthiness of parsnips and the vibrant color of beets, every bite is a delightful experience. Plus, you're getting a good dose of vitamins, minerals, and fiber in every serving. I mean who doesn't love a good guilt-free french fry?
And the best part? These fries are incredibly easy to make! With just a few simple steps, you can transform ordinary vegetables into a crispy, flavorful side dish that's perfect for any meal. Trust me, once you try these Rainbow Vegetable Fries, you'll never look at regular fries the same way again. I was never a big fan of fries until I realized you could make them with a bunch of different veggies, and that realization changed me!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the fries will cook evenly and get nice and crispy.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents the fries from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. Trust me, you don't want to skip this step!
- Wash and Peel Vegetables: Thoroughly wash all the vegetables. Peel the carrots, parsnips, and beets. There's nothing worse than biting into a fry with dirt on it.
- Cut Vegetables into Fry Shapes: Cut all the vegetables into similar-sized fry shapes, about 1/2 inch thick. Consistency is key for even cooking!
- Toss with Olive Oil and Seasonings: In a large bowl, toss the vegetable fries with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Make sure the fries are evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the vegetable fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can cause the fries to steam instead of crisping up. If necessary, use two baking sheets.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Check for Doneness: The fries are done when they are tender and slightly browned. A fork should easily pierce through them.
- Optional: Broil for Extra Crispiness: For extra crispy fries, broil them for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Pro Tip: This is where the magic happens!
- Serve Immediately: Remove from the oven and serve immediately. These fries are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
- Garnish (Optional): Sprinkle with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor and presentation. Because we eat with our eyes too!
