Rutabaga Fries

Teresa Ambra
Rutabaga Fries are outstanding! This delicious vegetable tastes like sweet potatoes, though not as dense and has a lot less calories. It's perfect served with Ketchup, Ranch Dressing, Honey-Mustard, BBQ sauce, Buffalo Sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Great for tailgating parties, or to snack on at home. It reheats wonderfully too. Gluten free, low calorie, healthy, vegan.

Equipment

  • 1 18x26" cookie sheet pan
  • parchment paper
  • 1 sharp paring knife to pare skin from rutabaga
  • 1 sharp knife to slice rutabaga
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 pastry brush
  • 1 cutting board if mincing fresh parsley

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs. rutabaga cut into strips and peeled
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp. garlic salt
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp. dill weed
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp. dried parsley
  • 1 tsp. fresh parsley minced, for garnish, if desired

Instructions
 

  • Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400º.
  • Place rutabaga on a large cutting board.
  • Cut rutabaga down the center forming two semi-circles.
  • Cut each semi-circle into ¼ -inch slices. 
  • Remove the outer peel of each slice with a paring knife; discard.
  • Cut each semi-circle slice in into spears or sticks.
  • Place rutabaga pieces on parchment paper-lined cookie sheet pan being careful to arrange them so the slices don’t tough each other.
  • Use multiple pans if necessary.
  • Brush olive oil lightly over top of the rutabaga sticks.
  • Sprinkle evenly with garlic salt, paprika, Italian seasoning, dill weed and parsley.
  • Bake at 400º about 40-45 minutes, or until rutabaga fries become fork tender.
  • Remove to serving platter.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.
  • Serve Rutabaga Fries with ketchup, spicy mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, Homemade Ranch Dressing, Honey-Mustard, Caesar Dressings or Buffalo Chicken sauce. 

Notes

NOTE: Seasoning amounts are approximate. Use more or less as you desire. I sprinkled the seasonings over top of the rutabaga sticks so each one got good coverage. I used approximately ½ teaspoon of each.
 
NOTE: I cut the rutabaga fries in small narrow strips. If you cut them in wider strips, the cooking time will lengthen.
