Turnip Fries
Here's now I make mine:
Turnip pieces - enough for 8 servings
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Vegetable Oil Spray or Olive Oil Spray
Lime Juice
Peel the turnips and cut into french fry type pieces.
Combine turnip sticks with the nutmeg, pepper, salt and Parmesan cheese in a large ziploc bag. Seal the bag and shake well to coat the turnip sticks.
Spray baking sheet(s) with the vegetable oil spray. Spread the turnips in a single layer on the sheets and spray again.
Bake in oven at 425 for 15 minutes. Turn the fries over and continue baking for 15 more minutes, or until the fries are tender and golden in colour. Serve hot with a sprinkle of lime juice.
I have heard of people soaking the turnip in a cream and water (before shaking the pieces with the dry ingredients) mixture to take away the bite from the turnip. I don't do this though as I like the flavour of turnip without doing this. This is also something I made long before this WOL, just for a change from mashed turnip.
Makes 8 servings. Approximately 4.5 carbs per serving (depending on the type of turnip used of course).
