Ingredients
- 2 medium Turnips
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 0.5 cup Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Green Onions
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Peel the turnips and cut them into thin fries about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the turnip fries with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika until evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer and bake for 25 minutes or until golden and crispy, turning halfway through.
Step 5
While the fries are baking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 8
Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, chili powder, and cumin. Simmer the mixture on low heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
Step 9
Once the fries and chili are done, remove the fries from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 10
Top the fries with the cooked chili, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 11
Place the platter under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 12
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
