Crispy Turnip 'Fries' image

My daughters and I are on a low-carb diet and were looking for something to curb our 'French fry' cravings. I've heard that turnips can be made into some great 'fries.' I experimented with it and came up with this. You can add whatever spices you'd like.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds turnips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil and lightly grease.
  • Peel the turnips, and cut into French fry-sized sticks, about 1/3 by 4 inches. Place into a large bowl, and toss with the vegetable oil to coat. Place the Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, paprika, onion powder in a resealable plastic bag, and shake to mix. Place the oiled turnips into the bag, and shake until evenly coated with the spices. Spread out onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the outside is crispy, and the inside is tender, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

I'm allergic to turnips. Is there a substitute I can use?

I followed the recipe exactly and my fries turned out soggy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These fries were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still good.

These fries were amazing! I was skeptical at first, but they were so crispy and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.

I've made these turnip fries several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're so easy to make and they're a healthier alternative to traditional potato fries.

These turnip fries were a hit! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I served them with ketchup and ranch dressing and they were delicious.
