Turnip or Rutabaga Fries

Peel a turnip or rutabaga and cut into thin fries - I generally cut them about 1/4 - 1/3 the width of a french fry.

Throw into a ziplock bag with some extra virgin olive oil, paprika, sea salt, and any other spices you might like, such as Mrs. Dash; shake until well mixed.  Spread on a cookie sheet.

Bake at 450 until done.  It usually takes 45 - 60 minutes for me to cook them, depending on the size of the turnip/rutabaga.  I pile them all onto one cookie sheet, and cook them until they are no longer crisp, turning them occasionally.

Kale Chips

1 bunch kale
Extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt

Preheat an oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. 

Remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces.  Wash and thoroughly dry kale.  Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.   

Bake until the edges are brown but not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes. 

You could always try sprinkling on some Mrs Dash or other seasonings (such as chili powder) before baking.
