Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized Turnips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the turnips, then slice them into thin, fry-shaped sticks roughly 1/4 inch thick.
Place the sliced turnips in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to ensure the turnip sticks are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled turnip sticks, then toss again to coat evenly.
Spread the seasoned turnip sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Optional: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the fries during the last 5 minutes of baking for added flavor.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
