Seasoned Fries, anyone? What kid or adult doesn’t love fries! For kids, I think it is the fact that they get to eat little sticks with their sauce of choice, and it is the soft center with the crisp outside for us adults. No debate from us on the deliciousness of the amazing seasoned fries! But wouldn’t it be nice to have fries that are nutritious, full of flavor, and lacked all the added stuff?

If that was a yes, you are in the right place. Have you ever thought about turning different kinds of veggies into fries? We all love a good potato, but sometimes it is nice to change things up. Maybe, your kid needs more veggies or you need more veggies in your diet. These Carrot & Parsnip Fries are a perfect way to eat your veggies in a fun and delicious way.

Guju Sauce Used: Red Pepper Indian Sauce 

Source of Inspiration:

We love seasoned fries as much as the next but want to ensure they are made with the best ingredients possible. Tossing sliced veggies in our Red Pepper Indian Sauce gives these fries all of the flavor we love without any added sugars, preservatives or inflammatory ingredients and that makes us very happy to serve these to our loved ones!
