Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Turnips
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Wash and peel the turnips. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to slice the turnips into very thin rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick, for even cooking.
Place the turnip slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch. This step helps in achieving a crispy texture.
Drain the turnip slices and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensuring the slices are dry will help prevent oil splatter.
In a large frying pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until the oil reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add a single layer of turnip slices into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan. Fry the slices in batches if necessary.
Fry the turnip slices for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Immediately sprinkle the fried chips with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder while they are still hot, ensuring even coverage.
Continue frying the remaining batches of turnip slices, making sure to adjust the oil temperature as needed to maintain even frying.
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly fried turnip chips as a tasty snack or side dish!
