What is the best temperature to air fry turnip fries?

Turnip fries cook quickly, so you'll want to set your air fryer to 400F so they're browned on the outside and not overcooked in the middle.

How long does it take to air fry turnip fries?

At 400F degrees, these turnip fries should only take about 12 minutes in the air fryer, especially if they're arranged in a single layer. If you overlap or crowd the fries, they will take a few minutes longer to cook. If you cut the fries into thicker slices, they'll also need a few extra minutes to cook.

Why are my turnip fries not crispy?

Turnips contain more moisture than potatoes, so they won't get crispy like french fries but you will get some caramelized edges. If your turnip fries are too soft or even soggy, it could mean that they were crowded in the air fryer basket or they were overcooked. For the best results, air fry them in a single layer and remove them once they're tender in the middle.

How do you store and reheat leftover turnip fries?

I think these turnip fries are best enjoyed right away. If you have leftovers, just store them in a covered container in the fridge. They should last for 2-3 days. To reheat them, you can place them in the air fryer on 400F for 2-3 minutes, or spread them out on a baking sheet and heat them in the oven.

Can you use different seasonings for this recipe?

Absolutely! To keep the smokey flavour and add a little heat, try using chili powder or chipotle powder. If you enjoy more savoury seasonings, you can use more garlic powder or onion powder, or even dried herbs like oregano and basil.

What pairs well with turnip fries?

For snacking, try these fries with ketchup, chipotle dip or jalapeño dip . For meals, serve them on the side with air fryer burgers , salmon patties or butternut squash quiche!

To prevent your fries from getting soggy, be sure to air fry them in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to air fry them in two batches.
