Turnip Fries

Turnips are a low cal root vegetable, rich in vitamin C. Make turnip fries for a healthier alternative to french fries.

CSA members are sure to receive turnips in their boxes. This is what we did with our this week.

It’s simple: Toss the sliced turnips in seasoned olive oil and bake or air fry.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs turnips (4-5 med. turnips) cut into “french fry” sticks (about ¼ in thick)
• ½ c olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1-2 tbsp herbs (I used fresh basil)
• salt/pepper to taste (I used cayenne, no salt)

Instructions

• Chop or grind garlic and seasonings and mix with olive oil.
• Toss the turnip sticks in the olive oil. Make sure they’re well coated.
• Cook.
  • To bake
    • Preheat oven to 450°.
    • Spread turnips sticks on a baking sheet in a single layer.
    • Bake 30 minutes. Toss/Stir after the first 15 minutes.
    • Turn oven to broil and broil fries an additional 3-4 minutes for crispier fries.
  • To air fry
    • Preheat airfryer to 390°.
    • Place turnip sticks in the basket (2-3 layers okay)
    • Airfry for 10 minutes, tossing after the first 5 minutes.
    • Fry an additional 1-2 minutes for crispier fries.
