I love celery root fries, however the problem with celery root fries is that celery root is not always so readily available. Whenever I want to make celery root fries, I have to drive to my nearest Whole Foods Market, which is a bit of a hike from my house.
On the other hand, turnips are always available at my local supermarket. After many failed attempts to get turnips to taste more like french fries, I think I have finally got it. So, I am proud to present to you the best turnip french fry recipe! Now please keep in mind that turnips do have a slightly sweet taste, but nothing that a little ketchup won’t cover.
So how many carbs do turnips have? Here’s is what I have found.
1 large Turnip has 8.47 Net Carbs
1 Medium Turnip has 5.64 Net Carbs
1 Small Turnip has 2.82 Net Carbs
The carb count for this recipe will depend greatly on the size of turnip you are using.

Here are the Ingredients for these turnip fries
4 Medium Turnips
1 teaspoon of better than bouillon or (1/4 cube of chicken stock cube of your choice)
1/2 teaspoon of cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese
Serves 4
5.6 Net Carbs Per Serving
Where’s the recipe?? I only see the ingredients. I watched the video but what temperature should the oven be set for and for how long?
How long do you “fry” these in the oven? They look delicious, and I have fresh turnips from my farm share picked today!

Thanks Cathy, I am happy to hear that you enjoyed them:)
Hi Jay, I love your recipe. I made it with a few substitutions due to my meal plan. I used chicken bouillon, Pam spray for oil. For seasonings, I used pepper, garlic & onions & roasted vegetable spice blends. I never thought of making Turnip Fries until I came across your website on Youtube. Thank you.
Fantastic Debbie! I am happy to hear you enjoyed these fries.
Jay, I made the turnip fries tonight and they were great !!!! My husband is not a vegetable eater, so he didnt try them, but I loved them and will make them again, I love your recipes and videos, thanks so much, Debbie
About 15-20 minutes.
how long did you boil the turnips?
Glad I found this site. I can’t wait to make your french fries!!!
Great recipes, I am currently collecting recipes to use in the near future. It’s good to find substitutes for your high carb favs. French fries is one of those foods for me. Thanks.
Thank you Tiff : )
you are awesome! love all ur recipes so far
Jodi, I have been away traveling for the past week so I am so sorry for the late reply. You should bake these at 425 degrees for about 30-35 minutes. Please remember to grease the baking tray first before placing them on the tray, because they will stick to the tray if your don’t. I hope this helps : )
Could you please tell me at what temperature you set your oven? I’m going to try this for supper tomorrow along with teriyaki venison burgers! Can’t wait!
I wonder if I could trick my husband into thinking these are regular french fries? lol!
