Scale
Ingredients
- 4 medium turnips, peeled and diced
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper
- Minced parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the turnips.
- Prepare the Turnips: Peel and dice the turnips into uniform pieces, then place them in a medium mixing bowl to ensure even cooking.
- Season the Turnips: Add avocado oil, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and cracked pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together thoroughly so the turnips are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Spread the seasoned turnips out in an even layer inside the air fryer basket to allow for proper air circulation and crisping.
- Air Fry the Turnips: Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning. The turnips are done when tender and lightly crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the turnips with minced parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Notes
- You can adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences; smoked paprika adds a nice smoky twist.
- Using avocado oil helps achieve a crisp texture while keeping the dish healthy due to its high smoke point.
- Make sure to shake the basket halfway through cooking to avoid turning the turnips too dark on one side.
- Serve these turnips as a side dish or a healthy snack alternative to fries.
- Turnips can vary in size, so ensure the pieces are cut evenly to cook uniformly.
