Keto Rutabaga French Fries#SundayFunday

Rutabaga is a root vegetable that can be cut up, seasoned and oven-baked to make this keto friendly low carb Rutabaga Fries.
Healthy oven-baked rutabaga fries with a great crunchy exterior and a fluffy interior. Although these fries can’t replace potato fries, they’re a wonderful substitute with way less carbs! Making these fries is a great way to incorporate more veg in your keto diet.
It's called rutabaga in the US, swede in the UK, swedish turnip or yellow turnip but in England, swede  or neep in Scotland, in Russian it’s bryukva and in India we call it shalgam.

The trickiest part is peeling and slicing the rutabaga. Rutabagas are quite hard, so cutting through them is not as easy as slicing a potato. You can either peel the rutabaga using a potato peeler or a paring knife.
Ingredients
3 Rutabaga's - cut into ½-inch fries
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 -3 Springs Fresh Thyme
A Sprinkle Of Paprika Powder
A Sprinkle Of Garlic Powder
A Spinkle Of Pink Himalayan Salt
¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine rutabaga fries with oil, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, 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- 40 minutes, flipping the rutabaga fries halfway through; until they are crisped on the outside and cooked through on the inside. 
These are excellent for snacking. Always keep these handy when rutabaga is in season.
