Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Turnips
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the turnips and cut them into small cubes, about 1/2 inch in size.
Place the cubed turnips in a large bowl and soak them in cold water for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain and pat the turnips dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Add the dried turnip cubes to the skillet, ensuring they are spread out evenly in a single layer. Fry for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to crisp up and turn golden brown.
Season the frying turnips with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir well to evenly coat.
Continue to fry for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the turnips are crispy and cooked through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the crispy turnips with fresh parsley.
Serve hot as a side dish or a snack.
