Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Rutabaga
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Peri Peri seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Peel the rutabagas and cut them into approximately 1/4 inch thick fries.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut rutabaga fries with olive oil, peri peri seasoning, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and chili powder.
Toss the fries thoroughly in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow them to crisp up properly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy them on their own with a low-carb dip.
