Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs turnips
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
  • 1 teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (more or less to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (more or less to taste)

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400 F. While the air fryer is pre-heating, wash, dry, and peel the turnips and cut them into strips about 1/2 inch thick.
  • In a bowl combine the cut turnips, tapioca starch, oil, and spices.
  • Transfer the turnip strips onto the rack of your air fryer and cook for 15-17 minutes at 400F, rotating the racks half way through (or tossing the basket).

Notes

  1. For a different flavour feel free to change up the spices on these fries.
  2. Nutritional values are an estimate and will vary depending on the exact ingredients you use and your serving size.
  3. If you have a smaller air fryer you will need to cook these turnip fries in batches.
