Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the turnips and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick, similar to potato chips.
In a large bowl, toss the turnip slices with olive oil, ensuring each slice is lightly coated.
Add sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to the bowl. Mix until the turnip slices are evenly seasoned.
Arrange the turnip slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet, flip the turnip slices, and return to the oven to bake for another 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the turnips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm as a low-carb alternative to patatas fritas.
