  • Mix well to get an even coating.
  • Preheat the air fryer at 380F for about three minutes. Air fryer preheating times may vary, so please check your user manual for exact timings.

  • Air fry them at 380F for about 12-15 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

  • Serve them hot with any of your favorite main dishes or a dipping sauce. It's like fries with a healthy twist! Enjoy!

Notes

  • The flavor of a turnip is inversely proportional to its size; smaller turnips will have a sweeter, mild flavor, while the larger ones have stronger flavors.
  • Change your seasoning to suit your taste preference. Sprinkling a little bit of onion powder is also a great seasoning idea.
  • Be sure to cube the turnips for the same size to ensure they all cook evenly.
