Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams rutabaga (peeled and cut into thin fry shapes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or regular)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra crispiness and flavor)
- low-carb dipping sauce of choice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the rutabaga and slice it into thin, fry-shaped pieces, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the rutabaga fries with olive oil until evenly coated.
In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, black pepper, almond flour, and Parmesan cheese (if using).
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled rutabaga fries, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Spread the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding them, as this will help them crisp up.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce, such as keto-friendly ketchup or garlic aioli. Enjoy your spicy keto fries!
