Equipment

Ingredients

1 rutabaga cut into ½-inch fries
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt plus more for serving
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine rutabaga fries with oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper on the prepared sheet pan, and toss until evenly coated.
Arrange the rutabaga fries on the baking sheet in a single layer leaving space in between them.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the rutabaga fries halfway through; until they are crisped on the outside and cooked through on the inside.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge. To reheat, I would recommend popping them in the toaster oven or regular oven so they can crisp up again.

Freezing Instructions: You can freeze them for up to 6 months. I would recommend blanching them before freezing them. Then you can cook them straight from frozen either by roasting them or boiling them.

Make Ahead Tips: You can wash, peel and cut the rutabaga vegetable up to 2 days in advance. Store it in the fridge in some water until you're ready to use. Then just drain and dab with a paper towel until dry.
