Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the rutabagas and cut them into thin fry-like strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, lemon juice, and chili flakes.
Add the rutabaga strips to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the coated rutabaga fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the keto peri peri fries immediately as a side dish or a snack. Enjoy!
