Description
Delicious crispy turnip fries made in the air fryer, perfect for a healthy snack or side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 small sized turnips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Spike Seasoning
- to taste salt
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup
Instructions
- Choose two small turnips that look plump and firm.
- Preheat Air Fryer for 5 minutes at 375F/190C. (Some Air Fryers may not need to be reheated.)
- For easy peeling, start by cutting off the top and bottom of each turnip so it will sit flat.
- Then use a sharp knife to slice off the skin of the turnip all the way around.
- Keeping the turnip sitting flat, cut slices that are about 1/2 inch thick.
- Then cut those slices into fries that are about 1/2 inch wide.
- Put the cut fries into a bowl and toss with olive oil and Spike Seasoning, or other all-purpose seasoning blend.
- Spread fries out in the Air Fryer basket, carefully arranging them in a single layer.
- I fit all the fries in one batch in my Cuisinart Convection Air Fryer Toaster Oven but if your Air Fryer basket is smaller you might have to cook them in two batches.
- Cook the turnip fries for 10 minutes, then remove the basket and carefully turn all the fries.
- Cook the fries for 5 more minutes; then check and turn any that are getting too brown.
- Cook about 2 minutes more, or until the turnip fries are nicely browned and cooked through.
- While fries cook, stir together sugar-free ketchup and mayo to make Utah Fry Sauce. (We like more mayo than ketchup, adjust to the amount of ketchup you prefer.)
- Season finished fries with salt to taste and serve hot.
Notes
- Spike Seasoning is an all-purpose seasoning blend that can be substituted with any preferred seasoning.
