Method
 

Preparation of Turnips
  1. Begin by peeling the turnips and removing any ends. Once prepped, slice them into even pieces about half an inch thick.
  2. If you notice any moisture, simply pat them dry with a paper towel.
Mixing the Coating
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Stir until well blended.
Coat the Fries
  1. Pour the turnip slices into the bowl and gently toss them in the oil mixture until they are fully coated.
Preheat the Air Fryer
  1. Set your air fryer to preheat at 180°C (350°F).
Air Frying
  1. Place the coated turnip fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  2. Air fry the fries for about 8 minutes or until the tops start to turn golden brown.
Toss and Cook Further
  1. After the initial cooking time, shake the basket or gently flip the fries. Cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until they reach your preferred level of browning.
Serve Immediately
  1. Once done, take out the fries and enjoy them hot.

Notes

Cut uniformly for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding in the air fryer for perfect crispiness. Experiment with spices for a personalized flavor.
