Ingredients

  • 2 medium turnips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch Cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 2 tablespoon vegan Parmesan (optional) *link to recipe

Instructions

  • Preheat oven 425 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spray with oil and set aside. Peel turnip, cut into 1/4 inch matchsticks and place in a medium bowl.
  • Toss turnip with olive oil, and add the remaining seasonings. Transfer the seasoned turnips on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 30 minutes or until they are done, turning halfway. Serve immediately.
  • Turnips are different from potatoes so don't expect the same crispy texture as potatoes. They have a delicious flavor and a great low carb substitute.
