Rutabaga Fries.
…Are the best. No joke. I don’t think I’ll ever eat normal fries again. And the best part? Blair loved them too! Yippee!

Yummy, Low-Carb and Healthy!
Since we started buying local organic fruit and veggies through a co-op where you buy a share or group of items for a set price, Blair and I have been challenged to try new things in new ways. This past week we found ourselves with a rutabaga on hand.
Neither of us had ever eaten this root vegetable that’s a mix between a turnip and a cabbage – so it was definitely a challenge!
You can mash them, roast them, put them in soup, and even hash brown them. We ultimately decided to make somewhat spicy garlic fries in the end – and they are delicious!
Here’s the easy Paleo recipe!
- 1 rutabaga (will make a little more than 2 servings)
- salt & pepper
- minced garlic
- paprika
- rosemary
- olive oil
- cookie sheet

I didn’t need any ketchup – These were perfect by themselves!
- Preheat the oven to 425° F
- Wash and peel the rutabaga, just like you would a potato
- Remove the ends and cut the rest into small french fries size slices – Try to make the slices the same size so they cook evenly.
- Add a dash of salt and pepper, along with paprika, rosemary, and minced garlic – You can personalize it here!
- Place the slices on the cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, turning the “fries” halfway so both sides crisp up – Cooking times will vary depending on your oven so keep an eye on them!
While these aren’t the same as fast food fries, not only are you getting a healthy alternative, but also still able to fix any french fry craving you have! My “fries” fixed my garlic fry craving and went perfectly with my burger! They were perfect.
So… what will you put on your rutabaga fries?
