Rutabaga Fries
Description
These Rutabaga Fries start with peeling and cutting rutabaga into half-inch sticks. They are tossed in olive oil and seasoned with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to build a smoky and savory flavor profile. Baking in a single layer at 425°F ensures they crisp up well around the edges while cooking through evenly.
The fries develop a tender interior with a lightly browned and crispy exterior after 30 to 35 minutes in the oven, flipped halfway through. The combination of paprika and garlic powder adds a gentle warmth and aromatic depth.
Rutabaga fries serve well as a side dish or snack for those wanting a root vegetable alternative to potatoes, offering a unique texture and flavor. They can be paired with dips or enjoyed simply seasoned.
To store, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days and reheat in an oven or toaster oven to restore crispness. For longer storage, blanch before freezing and cook from frozen by roasting or boiling.

- 1 rutabaga cut into ½-inch fries
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Notes
