Rutabaga Fries

Ingredients

• 1 small rutabaga, skin removed
• 1/4-1/2 tsp. salt

  Instructions

  1. Slice the rutabaga in half, and then cut into “fries.”
  2. *I placed my “fries” into cold water and allowed them to sit in the fridge overnight. I heard this trick works for crispy french fries. You can skip if you like.
  3. Preheat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Drain rutabaga fries if you chilled them overnight. Pat dry. Add 1 tbsp. olive oil and toss until evenly coated (I only needed one tablespoon, but add more if necessary.) Add the spices and toss again. Transfer to baking sheet and spread out so no fries overlap.
  5. Place into oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and flip. Continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
• 1/4-1/2 tsp. cayenne powder
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1-2 tbsp. olive oil
