Best Peppery Turnip Fries Recipes
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.

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.

PEPPERY TURNIP "FRIES"
I confess to being turnip ignorant. It seems a shame to let a perfectly good vegetable go uneaten for lack of knowledge. Then I found this recipe in "Yamuna's Table", and I became a turnip convert. Try it and join me in having a new appreciation for this humble vegetable.

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.

MASHED PEPPERY TURNIPS
I created this recipe in an attempt to use up a great turnip harvest from our garden, and to lighten up one of our favorite dishes. By using turnips in place of potatoes, I made a low-carb side. Now we rarely serve plain mashed potatoes! -Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas
