Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the turnips or rutabagas and cut them into fry-shaped sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the turnip or rutabaga fries with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until they are evenly coated.
Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven, and immediately sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese while they're still hot. The cheese will melt over the fries.
Top the cheese-covered fries with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.
Serve the Keto Bacon Cheese Fries hot with a side of sour cream if desired. Enjoy immediately for best texture.
