turnip fries

Missing the taste of fries yet? Well, I have created an alternative! Of course, nothing will ever compare to french fries, but these come close. Plus, you will feel so much better eating these than those greasy sticks.

Step One:
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Gather your ingredients. You will need:

1 turnip
1 teaspoon of olive oil
2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese

Step Two
Wash and peel the turnip

Step Three
Cut the turnip into 1/4 inch wedges and put them into a bowl. Then add the olive oil and Parmesan cheese and coat the turnip wedges evenly.

Step Four
Cover a cookie sheet with foil and spray with non-stick spray. Then arrange the wedges on the sheet. Do not overlap or they won't cook properly.

Step Five
Bake the fries for about 20 minutes and then carefully turn them over. Bake for another 15-20 minutes.

Step Six
Remove the fries from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes.

Step Seven
Using a spatula, carefully uplift each wedge and place in them in a bowl.

Feel free to enjoy them by themselves or pair it with a lean meat and make it a complete lean and green meal.

The turnips alone count for all of your greens for the day. Enjoy!
