Turnip fries, my new obsession!

Its super easy and super tasty...

Although I have only attempted this once, i was so excited about the yummy-ness I had to post about it!

Ingredients:
  • 1 turnip (100g raw= ~28 calories, SUPER LOW compared to potatoes) 
  • Cajun seasoning or another seasoning of your choosing
  • Cooking spray (olive oil or butter flavor)
  • Paper towels


Directions:
  1. Preheat over to 450 degrees.
  2. Cut up your turnip into shoe string sized fries (thin)
  3. Season them and let them sit (about 15 minutes) on a paper towel to help remove the excess moisture (this is helpful to create crispyness, the salt in the seasoning helps to draw out the moisture so you may need to use 1/8th teaspoon of salt if using Mrs.Dash or other salt free herbs). Dab the fries with a dry paper towel if needed prior to placing them on a cookie sheet.  
  4. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray then spread out the fries. 
  5. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, flip the fries half way through. 
  6. Enjoy! I didn't even need ketchup

Nutrition facts: 100g raw= ~28 calories, SUPER LOW compared to potatoes which are 75 calories per 100g
