Low Carb Vegetables Recipes

Ingredients:

8 medium turnips - (abt 2 1/2 lbs)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp splenda
1 tsp freshly-grated nutmeg
1 = (or 1/2 tspn ground nutmeg)
1 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1 = (sea salt works best)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 olive oil spray
1 lime juice

Instructions:

Peel the turnips with a vegetable peeler, slice and cut into 2 1/2- by
1/2-inch sticks. Pour 1/2 cup heavy cream into a large bowl and place the
turnip sticks into the cream. Fill bowl with cold water until the turnips
are completely covered. Add 1 teaspoon Splenda. Swirl a bit to mix and
allow to sit in cream mixture for 10 to 15 minutes. (This cream-soaking
step removes the "bite" flavor of the turnips, leaving them with a milder,
more potato-like flavor.) Rinse in colander with cool water and pat dry.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine turnip sticks with the nutmeg,
pepper, sea salt and Parmesan cheese in a large plastic (Ziploc-type) bag.
Seal the bag and shake well to coat the turnip sticks.

Spray 2 large baking sheets lightly with the olive oil spray. Spread the
turnips in a single layer on the sheets and spray again with the olive oil.

Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 15 minutes. Turn the fries over
and continue baking for 15 minutes, until the fries are tender and golden
in color. Serve hot with a sprinkle of lime juice.
