I've been researching low carb, Induction (Atkins) friendly substitutes for french fries for awhile and I've been coming across quite a few turnip fries recipes. 1 large turnip has about 8 net carbs. Compared to 1 medium potato, which has about 35 net carbs, turnips are definitely the better choice.
The Downside:
They don't taste like fries! Okay taste-wise they're okay but they have the consistency of a cooked onion when you bite into them. That said, they were crispy on the outside and they did help to take the edge off of my french fry cravings.
Here's the recipe:
Serving Size: 2
- 1 large turnip
- sea salt
- onion powder
- garlic powder
- paprika
- Preheat oven 450 degrees
- Slice the turnip horizontally in to thick steak fries.
- Drizzle the slices with oil and rub with salt and seasonings
- Spread the slices out on 1 layer onto a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes (make sure you flip 'em halfway through).
Turn up!!!!
