These were pretty good for turnips. I was able to get my neighbor's four year old to eat a few. We used ketchup as a dipping sauce but sour cream, cayenne and honey-dijon would have been better.

I had never cooked turnips before. They were actually kinda sweet. these are not french fries but they go well with low carb burgers on cabbage leaf buns. Thanks for the recipie!!!!

These were surprisingly good. I've only eaten turnips raw with a little salt so this was a nice surprise.

Nice alternative to french fries. I happened to have some duck fat on hand, so used it 50/50 with the olive oil - outstanding.

I think I like this better than any other method of cooking turnip that I've tried! The chili flavour really complements the turnip especially when served with a bit of sour cream to dip the fries into. Very, very tasty. You are not going to mistake these for french fries, but as a way of cooking turnip it is excellent.
