Root Veggie Fries

I have been trying to get different types of vegetables into the kids diet (Ben and mine too).  I came across this recipe for Root Veggie Fries in my Clean Food recipe book and they was pretty good.  A nice change up from our sweet potato fries.  The girls and I preferred the parsnips over the carrots and rutabagas as they are a little bit sweeter.  I will double those up next time and decrease the others.

1 rutabaga peeled
4 carrots
4 parsnips, peeled
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Cayenne pepper

Set oven to broil

Cut vegetables into sticks and steam them for 3-4 minutes.  Place them in a large bowl and coat with oil and toss them in cornmeal, salt, nutmeg and cayenne.  Spread them on a cookie sheet in a single layer.  Broil 3 minutes, remove from the oven and flip fries and then broil another 3 minutes until they start to brown.
