Peppery Turnip Fries
Peppery Turnip Fries
Ingredients:
8 medium turnips (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Splenda
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg or 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt (sea salt works best)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Olive oil spray
Lime juice
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 10-15
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°F.
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°F 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 lime juice.
Makes 8 servings. Approximately 4.5 carbohydrate grams per serving.
