**The Backstory** I've always been a fan of turnips, but I've never really known what to do with them. I usually just roast them, but I wanted to find a way to make them more exciting. One day, I was flipping through a cookbook and I came across a recipe for crispy turnip fries. I decided to give it a try, and I was so glad I did. The fries were crispy, savory, and delicious. I've been making them ever since. **Why It Works** - **The turnips are peeled and cut into fries-like shapes.** This helps them to get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. - **The fries are tossed in olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper.** This gives them a delicious flavor. - **The fries are baked in a single layer on a baking sheet.** This helps them to get crispy all over. - **The fries are flipped halfway through baking.** This ensures that they cook evenly. **Tips** - You can use any type of turnips for this recipe. I like to use white turnips, but you can also use purple or yellow turnips. - If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1/2 tsp dried rosemary. - You can also add other spices to the fries, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika. - Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
