Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large rutabaga (swede)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
- 1 liter vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Peel the rutabaga and cut it into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to resemble traditional French fries.
Place the cut rutabaga strips into a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain the rutabaga strips and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and ground cayenne pepper.
Toss the dried rutabaga strips in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.
In a large, deep frying pan or a deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Carefully add a handful of the rutabaga strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the chips for about 7-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining rutabaga strips.
Once all chips are cooked, season them immediately with a little more salt if desired.
Serve the chips warm as a delicious low-carb snack or side dish.
