I got my kids fries at Wendy's and they looked so good. I didn't have any but I came home and searched the net to find a recipe for low carb fries that I could have. This looks like it's might just be it. Ingredients: 8 medium turnips (about 2 1/2 pounds) 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon Splenda 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg or 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt (sea salt works best) 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Olive oil spray Lime juice How To Prepare: 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 10-15 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°F. 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°F 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. Number of Servings: Makes 8 servings.

No | Rating: 3    Pros: They are shaped like real fries Cons: They don't taste like real fries I also really missed fries and came across this recipe on the website that is listed. Sadly this is no substitute for fries. The end taste is ok, but I was expecting better. I made this twice and will not make it again. txjohn Junior LCF Member Registered: September 2004 Location: Texas Posts: 19 Review Date: Mon December 6, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe?

It is not a substitute for the good old french fries, but it is a wonderful alternative.

Kathryn Junior LCF Member Registered: April 2006 Posts: 0 Review Date: Mon May 15, 2006 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Almost like fries Cons: none Almost followed the recipe. I fried them (3 turnips) in 1/2 canola oil and 1/2 bacon grease. Not as crispy as I would have liked, maybe I need to bread them with parmesean cheese. Best thing of all I liked them. First time to eat a turnip. Thanks!
