Ingredients
Turnip Fries
- 4-5 cups turnips (about 2 large, peeled and chopped into fry shapes)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons ranch dip powder
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat and season turnips: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss the peeled and chopped turnips with avocado oil, sea salt, garlic powder, pepper, and chili powder until they are evenly coated.
- Roast the turnips: Spread the seasoned turnips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper if desired. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, then toss the fries to ensure even cooking. Continue roasting for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until golden and crispy on the edges.
- Prepare the Greek yogurt dip: While the turnips bake, combine Greek yogurt, ranch dip powder, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Remove the turnip fries from the oven. Serve hot alongside the prepared Greek yogurt ranch dip for a perfect pairing.
Notes
- For crispier fries, ensure that the turnips are cut into uniform fry shapes so they cook evenly.
- Using parchment paper can help prevent sticking and make cleaning easier.
- You can adjust the spice levels by adding more chili powder or other preferred seasonings.
- The Greek yogurt dip can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This recipe serves one, but quantities can easily be doubled or tripled.
