Turnip Fries

Turnips are pretty. A little bit of purple that fades to white...So pretty. But they have a little bit of wang. (Yes, I just made that up, but you probably know what wang would taste like.) And I found a fun, simple little recipe for turnip fries. And I thought potatoes were the only way to eat fries!!! These are worth a taste.

TURNIP FRIES
8 med. turnips
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. ground paprika
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Pare and cut turnips into 2 1/2 x 1/2 inch sticks. In gallon-size sealable plastic bag, combine cheese, onion powder and paprika. Add turnips; seal bag, squeezing out air; toss to coat turnips. Place turnips on baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes or until turnips are tender and golden. Makes 8 servings.

I printed this recipe and MAY (I said may) try it. But, I must admit that I am surprised people actually eat turnips :)
