Rutabaga Fries

5/24/2005

Nonstick cooking spray

2 pounds rutabagas, peeled

cup canola oil or olive oil

1 tablespoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with

cooking spray. Slice the rutabagas lengthwise to french

fry shapes. Put the rutabaga strips in a large bowl and

drizzle with oil. Toss well so that each piece of rutabaga is

coated with oil. Sprinkle fries with salt and pepper. Place

rutabaga strips in a single layer on the prepared baking

sheet.

Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown. (Watch carefully

because rutabagas have more sugar in them than

baking potatoes and tend to caramelize faster. If the fries

are getting too dark too fast, reduce the oven to 400 degrees).

Season to taste.

Yield: 4 servings
