Turnip Fries & Peanut Dipping Sauce Recipe

Powered by Mom’s Turnip Fries & Peanut Dipping Sauce Recipe

If you don’t like turnips, these turnip fries & peanut dipping sauce will change your mind!

I have never liked anything with turnips until now. Well to be fair the only kind of turnip recipe that I’ve eaten in the past was when it was mashed with carrots. You know what I mean, most of us have had it and most of us did not like it. That turned me off of turnips so that if I even saw a mention of turnips in a recipe I wouldn’t try it. Well I finally decided it was time to overcome this as I’m not usually a picky eater and I need to set an example for my daughter who is a picky eater. Enter turnip fries with peanut dipping sauce and wow I am so glad I decided to give turnips another try because this recipe has changed my mind and my taste buds are thanking me for it!

You really do have to try these to realize that turnips can taste good after all. Trust me, take it from a hard core turnip hater, this recipe has changed my mind. The peanut sauce has a lot to do with it but oh my the seasoned fries are darn good.

Turnip Fries with Peanut Dipping Sauce

Print Recipe
Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large turnips, stems removed
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • salt, garlic powder, cayenne, and any other seasonings you’d like
  • optional: green onions for garnish

For dipping sauce:

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • optional: green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425*
  2. Wash turnips. Then, cut them into strips (like fries). They tend to get mushy so you want to make sure you don’t slice them too thin.
  3. Toss turnips in coconut oil, then seasonings desired, in a large bowl.
  4. Line a cookie sheet with foil and arrange turnips in a single layer on the foil.
  5. Roast the turnips for about 10 minutes, then flip them over and roast for another 10. Finish it off with a broil for 2-3 minutes if you’d like them crispier.

For dipping sauce:

  1. Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl. Top with green onions.

What do you think, doesn’t that sound easy? Here’s a tip too, make some extra peanut dipping sauce because everyone loves it and it goes with a lot of other things too. You can’t tell by looking at them that these are made of turnips. In fact I would say don’t tell your family before you serve them that way they don’t make up their minds before they’ve tried it. What they don’t know won’t hurt them and in this case their taste buds will love them!

    I made the dipping sauce at the weekend and used a hot chili sauce. Great success! Next time I’ll make more & try freezing it! I’d never heard of sriracha before till I started reading US blogs and have never come across it in Ireland. I suppose it is available in cities but but not out in the middle of nowhere where I am!
