Tasty Turnip Fries

Ingredients

• 1 medium turnip (1 lb.), cut into french-fry strips
• 1 tsp. olive oil
• 2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. paprika
• ½ tsp. salt
• Cooking spray

Directions

1. Put turnip strips into a large bowl and toss with oil to coat.
2. If you have a shaker: fill with cheese, spices, and salt.  Shake over oiled strips and toss so that strips are evenly coated.
3. If you don’t have a shaker: put cheese, spices, and salt into a plastic bag.  Shake to mix.  Add oiled turnip strips and shake until evenly coated.
4. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
5. Spread strips out onto the baking sheet.
6. Bake in 425º F oven until outside is crispy and inside is tender when a fork is inserted, about 20-25 minutes.  Steam will pour out of the strips near the end; don’t worry; you’re not setting them on fire.
7. Good hot and cool.
