Several Parsnips
Olive oil
salt and pepper

Peel and thinly slice parsnips, about the width of a slender fast food french fry. Put parsnip strips in a mixing bowl and splash in some olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix to coat. Spread the parsnips out on a large jelly roll baking pan. Bake at 450, mixing with a long wooden spoon every 10 minutes or so until browning and crispy.

Warning: these are addictive. Even kids will like them!
