Ingredients
- 3 medium Turnips
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the turnips. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to slice the turnips into very thin rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick, for even cooking.
Step 2
Place the turnip slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch. This step helps in achieving a crispy texture.
Step 3
Drain the turnip slices and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensuring the slices are dry will help prevent oil splatter.
Step 4
In a large frying pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until the oil reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Carefully add a single layer of turnip slices into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan. Fry the slices in batches if necessary.
Step 6
Fry the turnip slices for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Immediately sprinkle the fried chips with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder while they are still hot, ensuring even coverage.
Step 8
Continue frying the remaining batches of turnip slices, making sure to adjust the oil temperature as needed to maintain even frying.
Step 9
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly fried turnip chips as a tasty snack or side dish!
