Peppery Turnip Fries Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Prepare turnip.
• Heat 3/4 to 1 inch of oil over medium heat, until consistent temperature.
• Put the turnip in the oil and separate the fries from each other with tongs or a fork, so they don't stick together.
• Fry the turnip in batches over medium heat.
• The turnip will float & bubble furiously. They bubble less and less as they approach "cooked".
• Fry until browned around the edges and the surface of the fries is bubbly.
• Wait between batches to let the oil temperature equalize.
• Blot on paper towels to remove excess oil.
• Salt & serve immediately.
