Craving crispy, golden fries without the carb overload? These low-carb boardwalk-style fries made with nutrient-packed rutabaga are the perfect answer! Thinly sliced rutabaga sticks are tossed in heart-healthy olive oil and a savory blend of sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper, then baked to perfection for a guilt-free indulgence. With only 15 minutes of prep and 35 minutes in the oven, these fries deliver that signature boardwalk crunch and flavor while staying keto-friendly. Garnished with optional parsley and ready to pair with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce, this recipe is a deliciously satisfying side dish or snack for anyone watching their carbs but not willing to sacrifice taste.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and rinse the rutabagas. Cut them into thin, fry-shaped sticks about 1/4-inch thick to mimic the shape of traditional fries.
Place the rutabaga sticks in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the rutabaga fries and toss again to ensure each fry is well coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned rutabaga fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Use a second baking sheet if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. The fries are done when they are golden brown and crisp at the edges.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or enjoy as-is!
