Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Turnips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Peel the turnips, then slice them into wedges, similar in size to traditional potato wedges.
Place the turnip wedges into a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the turnips and toss until they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the turnips and toss again until all the wedges are coated with the spices.
Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
Remove the turnip taters from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley (if using) and serve warm as a side dish or snack.
