Peppery Turnip Fries Recipe
Servings: 8
Ingredients
8 medium turnips - (about 2 1/2 lbs)
1/2-cup heavy cream
1 tsp Splenda
1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg = (or 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg)
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt = (sea salt works best)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Olive oil spray
Limejuice
Directions
Peel the turnips with a vegetable peeler, slice and cut into 2 1/2-
by 1/2-inch sticks. Pour 1/2-cup heavy cream into a large bowl and place
the turnip sticks into the cream. Fill bowl with cold water until the
turnips are completely covered. Add 1 teaspoon Splenda. Swirl a bit
to mix and allow to sit in cream mixture for 10 to 15 minutes. (This
cream-soaking step removes the "bite" flavor of the turnips,
leaving them with a milder, more potato-like flavor.) Rinse in colander
with cool water and pat dry. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine turnip
sticks with the nutmeg, pepper, sea salt and Parmesan cheese in a large
plastic (Ziploc-type) bag. Seal the bag and shake well to coat the turnip
sticks.
Spray 2 large baking sheets lightly with the olive oil spray. Spread
the turnips in a single layer on the sheets and spray again with the
olive oil. Bake in a preheated 425-degree oven for 15 minutes. Turn
the fries over and continue baking for 15 minutes, until the fries are
tender and golden in color. Serve hot with a sprinkle of limejuice.
