We’ve all heard of cauliflower as a substitute for potatoes in the classic side dish; mashed potatoes. But did you know that turnips make a great substitute as well? Today’s post isn’t about mashed turnips though. It’s about turnip FRIES.
I apologize again for the lack of video. Our summer is looking like it’ll slow down in the next few weeks though so I will be BACK in action with video demos but for now … how about a recipe that’ll become a new staple for your household?
I was so impressed with these turnip fries that I went out the morning after we ate them to buy more turnips so I could make them again. Then, I made them again and had a giant plate of “fries” as a midday snack. I can’t remember the last time I did that without feeling bloated and miserable right after! Turnips for the win!
Preheat oven at 425 degrees F.
Peel turnips and cut into 1/4 inch matchsticks (I used 3 turnips to serve 2 people)
Place turnips into a large bowl and toss with olive oil then season with your favorites (I used a little salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and cayenne for spice)
Place in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Serve immediately – they’re great on their own or with ketchup!

I wanted to create this blog for a few reasons. First and foremost, to share tips, tricks, and knowledge about the food and beverage industry in general but also to help people see a different side of the restaurant world. Every restaurant has a totally unique culture and world within it. I want to help open people’s eyes to more than how fast the service is or how easy or hard it is to secure a reservation.
So, thanks for stopping by! I welcome your ideas, input, and feedback and hope you enjoy!
Eat well & travel often,
Becky McKinney
