Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Turnips
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 0.5 cup Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Green Onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the turnips and cut them into thin fries about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the turnip fries with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika until evenly coated.
Spread the fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer and bake for 25 minutes or until golden and crispy, turning halfway through.
While the fries are baking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, chili powder, and cumin. Simmer the mixture on low heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
Once the fries and chili are done, remove the fries from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
Top the fries with the cooked chili, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Place the platter under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
