Crunchy, golden, and warmly spiced, these oven-baked parsnip chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Parsnips bring a naturally sweet, earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with turmeric and ginger, and the optional rosemary adds a fragrant herbal note that makes the whole batch feel a little fancy. Every ingredient here is plant-based and free from mammalian meat byproducts, so there's no second-guessing the label or worrying about hidden animal-derived additives that can make packaged snacks so tricky to navigate. Coconut oil is the fat of choice, which not only keeps things dairy-free but also helps each thin round crisp up with gorgeous golden edges. The wire rack trick is the real secret — elevating the slices lets hot air circulate underneath so you get that satisfying crunch without any sogginess. Slicing uniformly thin and patting the parsnips completely dry before baking are the two steps that make the biggest difference, so don't skip either one. These are fantastic straight off the rack, but they also hold up well in an airtight container if you want to make a batch ahead for snacking throughout the week.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set a wire rack on each sheet.
Using a mandoline set to 1/16-inch thickness, or a sharp knife, slice the parsnips into rounds as uniformly thin as possible. Pat the slices thoroughly dry with paper towels — any surface moisture will steam rather than crisp.
