Delicious crispy turnip "fries." My daughters and I are on a low-carb diet and were looking for something to curb our French fry cravings. I've heard that turnips can be made into some great fries. I experimented with it and came up with this. You can add whatever spices you'd like.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds turnips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.33 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil and lightly grease.
-
2
Peel turnips, and cut into French fry-sized sticks, about 1/3 inch by 4 inches. Place into a large bowl and toss with vegetable oil to coat.
-
3
Combine Parmesan, garlic salt, paprika, and onion powder in a resealable plastic bag; shake until well mixed.
-
4
Place turnips into the bag and shake until evenly coated with the spices.
-
5
Spread out onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
6
Bake in the preheated oven until the outside is crispy and the inside is tender, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Cold Macaroni and Tuna Salad
This cold tuna salad is a simple and good recipe that is great served on those hot summer days. It can even be prepared the night before so that it is ready and cold when you come home from work the next day. My husband never ate this until we got married; now, he requests it every other week in the summer. You can substitute chicken for the tuna, which is also great. I serve it on a leaf of lettuce, for looks, with an assortment of crackers. Happy eating!
Breakfast Pasta for Dinner
Pasta, eggs, and cheese make a deliciously quick, easy, and unique meal for a mid-week dinner or weekend brunch. This may sound unappetizing to some but trust me--the eggs combined with the Parmesan make a rich, creamy sauce that pairs perfectly with the pasta.
