Ingredients
- 4 medium Turnips
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon chopped Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel the turnips and cut them into small cubes, about 1/2 inch in size.
Step 2
Place the cubed turnips in a large bowl and soak them in cold water for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch.
Step 3
Drain and pat the turnips dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Step 5
Add the dried turnip cubes to the skillet, ensuring they are spread out evenly in a single layer. Fry for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to crisp up and turn golden brown.
Step 6
Season the frying turnips with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir well to evenly coat.
Step 7
Continue to fry for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the turnips are crispy and cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the crispy turnips with fresh parsley.
Step 9
Serve hot as a side dish or a snack.
