Rutabaga Fries

Like other root vegetables, rutabaga is great baked. Try making fries with your share and you won’t be disappointed. These fries will be more like sweet potato fries, in that they will never get perfectly crisp like a potato. To help them crisp better, switch them to broil right when they are almost tender. That will give them more color and a better texture than just baking.

Ingredients

• 1 share rutabaga, peeled and cut into French fry strips
• 2 teaspoons oil
• Salt and pepper

Directions

Curry powder, paprika, cayenne or any other spice mix you like Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss rutabaga with oil, salt and pepper and spices. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in over. Cook about 10-20 minutes (depending on the thickness of your slice). Once almost tender, switch oven to broil and cook until nicely browned. Serve immediately.
