Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Turnips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the turnips and dice them into 1/2-inch cubes to mimic the size of traditional potato cubes.
Place the diced turnips in a bowl of cold water to remove some of their bitterness and prevent them from browning. Let them soak for at least 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the cubed turnips to the skillet, spreading them out in an even layer. Let them cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes to develop a crispy crust.
Stir the turnips and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about another 10 minutes.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the turnips. Stir well to evenly coat the turnips with the spices.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turnips are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the turnips before serving.
Enjoy your keto-friendly crispy breakfast 'potatoes' hot, as a side to your favorite breakfast dishes!
