About
Snip Fries have some sensational snap to them! These fries are made from parsnips rather than potatoes, so they're sweeter and carry a touch of natural spice that potatoes just don't have. Yet Snip Fries are just as fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside as traditional oven fries. This is a healthier version of a favorite side dish that will make you excited to eat your veggies, especially with melty parmesan all on top. You won't even need ketchup!
