• 200g parsnips or sweet potatoes
• sunflower oil for frying
• sea salt flakes

Directions:

Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, slice the parsnips lengthways as thin as possible. Place the slices in a bowl of ice water for 30 minutes.

Heat the oil in a large saucepan to a moderate temperature. Drain the vegetable slices and dry them thoroughly, blotting with paper towel. Drop the vegetable slices into the hot oil, a handful at a time, and fry until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towel to drain. Sprinkle sea salt on top.

Serves 2
