Air Fryer Turnip Fries

Servings: 2 

Prep Time: 10 minutes 

Cook Time: 20 minutes 

Total Time: 30 minutes 

Ingredients:

- Vegetable (Unlimited):

  - 2 medium turnips (about 3-4 cups when cut)

- Seasonings:

  - 1 tablespoon olive oil

  - 1 teaspoon garlic (minced or powdered)

  - 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

  - 1 teaspoon vinegar (e.g., balsamic or white)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Turnips:

   - Peel the turnips with a vegetable peeler. Cut them into fry-shaped sticks (about ½-inch wide and 3 inches long). Turnips are firmer than zucchini, making them a great fry substitute.

2. Season the “Fries”:

   - In a bowl, toss the turnip sticks with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and vinegar until well coated.

3. Preheat the Air Fryer:

   - Set your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and preheat for 3 minutes (if required).

4. Cook the Turnip Fries:

   - Place the turnip sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overlap. Cook in batches if needed.

   - Air fry at 400°F for 18-20 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside.

5. Serve:

   - Remove from the air fryer, and enjoy hot as a hearty fry substitute.

Notes:

- Turnips have a slightly peppery flavor and a texture closer to potatoes when cooked, making them an excellent fry stand-in. For a bolder taste, add a splash of horseradish (allowed seasoning) after cooking.
