For extra crispy fries, arrange oiled veggie sticks in a single layer on a wire baking rack on a baking sheet and oven roast. No need to rotate halfway through baking!

Ingredients

3/4 lb. carrots, peeled, cut into long 1/4-inch thick sticks
1/4 lb. parsnips, trimmed, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch sticks
1/4 lb. beets or purple potatoes, trimmed, peeled, cut into ¼-inch sticks
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper, as needed
1/2 cup prepared yogurt ranch dressing
Sriracha sauce, as needed

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425°F.
In a large bowl, combine carrots and parsnips; toss in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Arrange in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Add beets to bowl; toss lightly in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Transfer to baking sheet with carrots and parsnips; season with salt and pepper.
Roast uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden and crisp, flipping halfway through.
