Rutabaga Fries
Serves 4-5
2 large rutabagas, peeled
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons spice mix
-
Preheat oven to 400 F.
-
Cut rutabaga into French fry size pieces.
-
Place cut rutabagas into a zip lock bag or covered dish. Add olive oil, salt pepper and spice mix. Toss together.
-
Place rutabaga on a parchment lined oven proof-baking sheet. Try to get them on one level, without stacking them. This roasts them nicely. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the rutabaga is golden and a bit crisp.
