Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium turnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the turnips and cut them into thin fry-shaped strips.
In a large bowl, toss the turnip strips with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the turnip fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot fries.
Return the fries to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the low carb cheesy fries hot, topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped chives for garnish.
