Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Turnips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 6 slices Bacon
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and cut the turnips into thin fry-like strips, about 1/4 inch in thickness.
In a large bowl, toss the turnip strips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Spread the turnip strips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the turnips are golden brown and crispy.
While the turnips are baking, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain, then crumble into small pieces.
Once the turnip fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the fries.
Return the baking sheet to the oven for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of the cheesy turnip fries.
Finely chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the top for a fresh touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy the cheesy, bacon-topped delight with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
