Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Turnips
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the turnips and cut them into thin strips, resembling French fries.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the turnip strips with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until the turnip pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the coated turnip strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping to allow even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot fries. Toss the fries gently to distribute the cheese evenly.
Transfer the fries to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack, enjoying the crispy texture and savory flavor of these low-carb papas fritas.
