Ingredients

  • 8 turnips
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F conventional, or 400 degrees F convection if possible. Set out 1-2 large baking sheets, and a small bowl. Measure the garlic salt, oregano, paprika, onion powder, and cayenne pepper into the bowl and mix well.
  2. Peel the turnips and cut them into strips the length of each turnip, and 1/3 X 1/3 inch in width and height. Try to cut them as evenly as possible. 
  3. Place the fries on the baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Toss to coat. Then sprinkle the seasoning mix over the fries and toss them to coat again. 
  4. Spread the fries out evenly on the baking sheet, making sure they don't touch. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the fries. Spread them out again, and bake for another 10 minutes, or until crispy. Serve warm.

Notes

  • AIR FRYER INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. Work in small single-layer batches. Fry each batch for 10 minutes, shaking the basket at the 5-minute mark.
