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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and peel the turnips, then slice them into thin, fry-shaped sticks roughly 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

Place the sliced turnips in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to ensure the turnip sticks are evenly coated.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled turnip sticks, then toss again to coat evenly.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned turnip sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the fries during the last 5 minutes of baking for added flavor.

Step 9

Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
