Rutabaga Fries Recipe
We all love a good French fry, but they aren't the healthiest choice.
Patricia Guay-Berry, Oncology nutritionist with the Aquilino Cancer Center, shared this recipe with us for oven-baked rutabaga fries. While the recipe instructs you to use an oven, for extra crispiness, you can modify the recipe for an air fryer.

Ingredients
- 1 small rutabaga, skin removed, cut into ¼-inch-thick slices
- 1½ teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425˚F.
2. In a bowl, toss rutabaga with olive oil, smoked paprika and garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Arrange rutabaga on a baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding to prevent steaming and subsequent loss of crispiness. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
