Peppery Turnip Fries Makes 8 Servings |
|
3 - 12 oz. Bags Sawler Baby Cut & Peeled Turnips 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 |
Preparations 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 and allow to sit in cream mixture for 10-15 minutes. (This cream-soaking step removes the "bite" flavour of the turnips, leaving them with a milder, more potato-like flavour). Rinse in colander with cold water and pat dry. Preheat oven to 425º 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 with the olive oil spray. Spread the turnip sticks in a single layer on the sheets and spray again with olive oil. Bake at 425º F oven for 15 minutes. Turn the fries over and continue baking for 15 minutes until fries are tender and golden in colour. Serve hot with a sprinkle of lime juice Approx. 4.5 carbohydrate grams per serving |
