Can I make these with other vegetables besides parsnips?

Absolutely, While parsnips are my favorite for their natural sweetness, you can use this same method with carrots, sweet potatoes, or even butternut squash (just use the neck portion for easy ribbons). The cooking time might vary slightly - just keep an eye on them after 7 minutes.

Why are my parsnip ribbons soggy instead of crispy?

Oh no - we've all been there! The usual culprits are overcrowding the air fryer basket (they need space to crisp up) or not preheating your air fryer. Also, make sure to pat your ribbons dry if they seem extra moist after peeling. And remember - single layer is non-negotiable.

Can I bake these in the oven instead of an air fryer?

You sure can! Spread them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway. They won't get quite as crisp as the air fryer version, but still delicious. Just keep a close eye - oven temperatures can vary.

How do I keep them crispy for longer?

Here's my trick - let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb moisture. When ready to eat, pop them back in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to revive that perfect crispiness. Though honestly? They rarely last long enough in my house to need storing!
