Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Turnips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel the turnips and cut them into thin, even-sized strips resembling traditional French fries.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the turnip fries with olive oil, ensuring they are all evenly coated.
Add the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika to the bowl. Toss the turnip fries again to distribute the seasonings evenly across all pieces.
Arrange the seasoned turnip fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap for even cooking.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Once baked, remove the fries from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Garnish with parsley and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
