ingredients
- 2 turnips
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried chives
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon trader joes "cheesy seasoning" alternatively, buttermilk powder or skip.
- oil for frying
Method
Step 1
Use a mandolin (or I used a kitchen aid attachment) to thinly slice your turnips. (you can peel, or leave the outside on. up to you. I left mine on.)
Step 2
Place in a large bowl, and drizzle with avocado oil.
Step 3
Season with salt, pepper, and all of your herbs/spices. Toss together well to evenly coat.
Step 4
Fill a large heavy bottomed pot about half way with oil. Turn on medium-high heat on stovetop. (I used grapeseed, and vegetable oil.) Test if your oil is ready for frying by dipping in a toothpick, or the handle of a wooden spoon. If it simmers/bubbles around the wood you're ready.
Step 5
Drop in chips carefully, stirring as each "handful" is introduced to assure they don't clump. (Drop them in using a large spoon or spatula)
Step 6
You can fry 1/2 at a time.
Step 7
Fry for about 5-7 minutes, until the chips begin to turn golden brown.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon/spatula to remove chips from oil and transfer to a pan lined with a wire rack.
Step 9
Sprinkle with salt while still warm.
Step 10
Serve alongside your favorite dip, or just on their own as a great, low-carb satisfying crunchy snack.
