Ingredients
- 2 medium Turnips

- 1.5 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Peel the turnips and cut them into thin, even-sized strips resembling traditional French fries.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the turnip fries with olive oil, ensuring they are all evenly coated.
Step 4
Add the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika to the bowl. Toss the turnip fries again to distribute the seasonings evenly across all pieces.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned turnip fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap for even cooking.
Step 6
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 7
Once baked, remove the fries from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Step 8
Garnish with parsley and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
