Ingredients

3 pounds turnips 2 medium, peeled and thinly sliced
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Peel the turnips using a vegetable peeler or paring knife. Cut into long, thin strips. *Thinner fries will be crispier than thicker fries.
Place the cut fries in a medium bowl; drizzle with 1 Tablespoon olive oil.
In a large (gallon size) ziploc bag, combine 2 Tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix.
Add the fries to the bag and shake to coat.
Transfer fries to a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until browned and crispy.

Notes

A note about crispiness:

Since turnips are high in moisture content, there's no way to make them as crispy as potato fries.

storage & reheating tips

Leftover Turnip Fries can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat at 400° in the oven or air fryer until fries crisp up. Reheated turnip fries will never be completely crispy due to their high moisture content.
