Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- If the parsnips and carrots are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Slice each diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. The vegetables will shrink while cooking, so don't make the pieces too small. Place the cut vegetables on a sheet pan. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss well. Roast for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the vegetables, tossing occasionally, until the parsnips and carrots are just tender. Sprinkle with dill and serve hot.

Steps:
- After peeling one of the carrots, use the vegetable peeler to peel away long strips from the whole length of the carrot, allowing the strips to drop into a large bowl. Turn the carrot in your hand about one-quarter turn after every 4 or 5 strips, so you'll generally have strips of similar width and length overall. Do the same with the remaining carrots and the parsnips, both of which have a tough core that should be discarded once you get there (the color tends to change slightly).
- Pour about 2 inches of oil into a large heavy saucepan (the oil should not come more than halfway up the sides of the pan). Bring to 375°F over medium heat.
- While the oil is heating, combine the salt and thyme in a small dish and rub them together between your fingers for a bit to release the aromatics of the thyme.
- Carefully add a handful of the vegetable strips to the oil and fry until lightly browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Use the back of a slotted spoon to gently press the strips down into the oil and spread them out a bit to help ensure even cooking. When crisped, lift out the strips and scatter them on paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining vegetable strips, allowing the oil to reheat between batches as needed.
- Transfer the chips to a serving bowl, sprinkle the thyme-salt mixture over them, and serve. They will be best served shortly after frying.

ROASTED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC
Parsnips are carrots' sweeter cousins, with a rich, nutty flavor. Though they don't pack the beta-carotene that their orange relatives offer, they're a good source of vitamin C and folacin. Because the core can be woody, I always remove it; this can be a tedious task but it's worth it.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Oil a sheet pan or a baking dish large enough to fit all of the vegetables in a single layer. Cut the carrots and parsnips into 3-inch lengths. Quarter the fat lengths, and cut the thin ends into halves so that the pieces are about the same size. Cut away the cores from the parsnips. Toss with the garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary sprigs, and olive oil until all of the vegetables are coated with oil.
- Spread in an even layer in the prepared pan or baking dish. Cover with foil and place in the oven for 30 minutes. Turn the heat down to 375ºF and uncover the pan. Stir gently, and continue to roast until lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, and serve.
