Instructions
Follow these simple steps to prepare your Turnip Fried Fries:
-
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While your oven heats up, prepare the turnips.
-
- Peel and slice the turnips into fry-shaped pieces, ensuring they are relatively uniform in size to promote even cooking.
-
- In a large bowl, toss the turnips with the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Highlight: Be sure every piece is well-coated with the seasoning mix to guarantee maximum flavor.
-
- Arrange the turnips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and makes for easy cleanup.
-
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning the fries halfway through the cooking time. This ensures they become crispy on all sides.
-
- Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Optionally, you can sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
-
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Turnips Fried Fries! They pair perfectly with your favorite dipping sauces.
