Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Rutabaga
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Begin by peeling the rutabagas thoroughly. Once peeled, cut the rutabagas into extremely thin, shoestring-like strips, approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch wide.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shoestring rutabaga strips with olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Toss until the rutabaga is evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Spread the seasoned rutabaga strips in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping too much. This will ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the baking time. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning; they should be golden brown and crispy.
Once baked to your desired crispiness, remove the fries from the oven. Sprinkle them with fresh, finely chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve the low-carb shoestring fries immediately while they're hot and crispy. Enjoy them as a side dish or a snack!
