Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the turnips and toss again to distribute the spices evenly.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned turnip spirals in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking.
