Equipment
- air fryer or Ninja Foodi
- sharp knife
- vegetable peeler
- mixing bowl
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 2 pounds rutabaga
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Set the air fryer temperature to 400°F and preheat for 3-5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prep the rutabaga by cutting it in half and carefully removing the skin with a sharp knife or vegetable peeler. Cut the halves into 1/2"-thick half-moon shapes, then cut the half-moons into long french fries (about 1/2" wide).
- Add the cut fries to a bowl and drizzle the oil over top. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and toss to fully coat the fries in oil and seasonings.
- Add the rutabaga fries to the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer and set the timer for 20 minutes.
- At the halfway mark, use tongs to flip and rotate the fries.
- Cook for the remaining 10 minutes or until the rutabaga fries are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
