Ingredients

• 4 medium turnips
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon parsley (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.

Step 2

Peel the turnips and cut them into fry-shaped sticks, about 1/3-inch thick for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the turnip sticks with olive oil until they are evenly coated.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.

Step 5

Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the turnips and toss again to ensure all fries are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned turnip sticks out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them to allow even roasting.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through to promote even browning.

Step 8

If using parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the fries during the last 5 minutes of cooking so it melts and becomes slightly crispy.

Step 9

Once the fries are golden and tender, remove them from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish or snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
