About This Recipe

Easy turnip fries make a healthy and low carb alternative to your typical potato French fries. Seasoned with garlic, cumin, and paprika and made in the oven or air fryer for a healthy French fry. Naturally gluten free, keto, vegan, paleo, and Whole30.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds turnips, peels and stems removed (about 2-4 depending on size)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • salt and pepper
  • for serving: ketchup, honey mustard, ranch, chipotle mayo...

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Peel turnips. Decide which way you are going to cut them. You want to slice them so you can get the longest fries. It will depend if you have a taller or fatter turnip. For example, if the turnip is more fat than tall, place it on it’s side and slice into 1/2 rounds. If taller, cut the opposite way (from stem to end). Cut the rounds into strips so you have matchsticks, or French fry shapes.
  3. Place cut turnips on a large baking sheet. Pour over avocado oil and spices and mix well to combine. Spread out evenly on both baking sheets, making sure they are not touching or too close together. Roast for 25 minutes, flip and move baking sheets around, and roast for another 15 minutes. If you want them more cripsy, place on broil for 1 minute. Let cool for a minute and serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
