- 1 tablespoon Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the turnips, then slice them into thin, fry-shaped sticks roughly 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
Place the sliced turnips in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to ensure the turnip sticks are evenly coated.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled turnip sticks, then toss again to coat evenly.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned turnip sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Optional: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the fries during the last 5 minutes of baking for added flavor.
Step 9
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
