Honestly Frances, never fry anything in Olive Oil - ever again. Use Avocado Oil instead, or better yet Lard/Tallow! They have very high smoke points & do not oxidize easily. Olive oil begins oxidizing when you open the bottle and should only be used for finishing & dressings - Never for cooking above 125 F. When you cook w/Olive oil it goes from a hero to a zero for your health. That's why it's sold in expensive, small, little 1/2L bottles, cause you want it fresh as can be!

Honestly, ladies, I've been doing Keto & IF for over 6 years. I believe it is good to cycle out of Keto 3-4 times a year for a day or three (holidays :~). This offers a reset to glucose metabolism/mngmt. Bottom line, when I crave fries I buy my favorite ones (or 2) I consider it a cheat and they are usually combined with other healthy non-keto foods.

I came across a video at Keto with Sammy where she par boils the cut up rutabaga fries and then drains them really well & pat dry really well. Then she mixed them with oil & seasonings and air fried them. When I tried this, it made a huge difference in texture & flavor for the rutabaga. Now it's my go to for fries.

Thank you again for your hard work and fun (at least for us) videos.. I too thought maybe you had turnips instead of rutabagas. Rutabagas usually are sold with a wax coating. Very different taste. I used to love potatoes but even before I realized the importance of eating healthy I loved rutabaga. I mashed them or put them chunked in stews. Last week I tried cubing them (small) seasoning them with avocado oil, of course garlic and other seasonings and roasted them in the oven for quite a while. Tossing at times. They were crispy on the outside and soft inside. Very close to a roasted potato texture and taste. After watching your video I’m going to try cutting then in french fry shape. Thanks again… enjoy your snow!

I used to eat Kohlrabi fresh out of the garden as a kid with salt and loved them. As I was shopping in Sprouts one day I saw that they had so bought one and when got home I thought would how this would taste as a chip so I fried some in coconut oil . They were so good and it’s the closest thing I have had to a potato chip and I’m sure you could make them like a fry. They turned out very crispy. They have 6.2 carbs per gram and 3.6 grams of fiber. So they are very low carb . Kohlrabi’s are a German turnip and very much like a potato without the starch.

Love you gals, and appreciate your wonderful videos! When I used to eat potatoes, I made french fries at home. I deep fried them, I don't know how they would turn out in an oven or air fryer. They'd tended to be a little floppy, but I learned a trick to get them crispy. This might work for other root veg as well, but I haven't tried it yet. What you do is when they're almost done, take them out and let them cool a little. Then pop them back into the fryer for a couple of minutes. They come out nice and crispy. I did try rutabaga as a potato sub in homemade corned beef hash. It wasn't bad. Not as yummy as potatoes, but it was pretty satisfying. I hadn't had my corned beef hash for a couple of years, so it was nice. It broke the craving. I want to try kohlrabi, but I haven't been able to get any. It might have to wait until I can grow my own.

I've done a lot of vegetable fries in the air fryer. The air fryer preset is for frozen fries, that are precooked when you buy them. You need to precook them so they will be cooked inside before browning, or they'll be undercooked in the middle. First I peel them and cut them into fry shapes, brush well with oil, and air fry at 250F until they are cooked through internally, which you can tell because they change from hard to flexible. Then you brush them again with oil, increase the temperature to 400F, and give them 10 minutes until brown. Rutabagas take 25 minutes for their first stage. Beets are about 22, Carrots and parsnips 20.

I cut them down even further into shoestring fry size, pressure cooked them in my Ninja till they were tender and then oiled, seasoned, and air fried the heck out of them. Longer time, lower heat so it almost dehydrates all that moisture out as it air fries. They shrink quite a bit to about like those super skinny fries they have at Steak and Shake.

I eat carnivore and keto because I can't digest starch, and rutabagas have a very small amount of starch, but the other roots like Jicama are too starchy.

So, rutabaga and turnips - you need to peel them. You don't want to eat the skin on these. And I've found they're better - well cut them into cubes, boil them, and put them in a stew. It's more like a good boiled potato substitute. Or cut them up, boil them in salted water and mash them. Add lots of butter and cream - and salt - pretty good mashed tater sub. For oven roasted "new" potato sub - try radishes. Just cut off the tops, scrub and wash them, oil them, salt and pepper - roast in oven - surprisingly good. I may have to try jicama. If I don't like it cooked and I have a lot leftover, raw - it's at least good raw.

OK- fries aside, I am a huge turnip fan the round white , purple topped thing . We ate boiled with butter growing up,but I really enjoy them mashed

How about partially-boiling the thick fries you cut, draining, drying, then frying in some choice or mixture of tallow, lard, and/or avocado oil (all have a higher smoke point)? That's a variation on the JoyofCooking 3-step '50s way - (partially-fry;-rest--cool; finish-frying - spice immediately). The Chicago Dog shop at the corner of the Addison office park where I worked always had baskets of part-cooked fresh fries waiting for their final bath of glory. Oh, the memories!

I just went through an 'au gratin' rutabaga trip. Had too much of it. It was really good to me...I have been having thoughts of Mr. Submarine garlic seasoned fries...interesting how French fries of all SAD foods can still haunt me on occasion...

For better crispyness prepare the day before (including par boil if needed) to allow the vegetable to lose fluid and dry out. Works a treat for me 👍

I par-boil my jicama, dry it, and then fry it in avo oil. try that with the root parsley and the jicama. I'll wait 🤣 thx you guys!!!

@brianmulero2892 Жыл бұрын

I dont know if anyone has mentioned it but which ever is your favorite, lightly coat it in protein powder. Not a batter just throw them in a ziploc with protein powder and shake. But i fried them. It gives a crispy outside but you have to eat it a little quick lol

I’ll add one medium sized parsnip to my homemade soup, delicious. It’s a whole food so okay by me. I don’t know if anyone suggested sun chokes but they’re tasty and high in fibre.

@wolfalistair5311 Жыл бұрын

Please try sun chokes or Jerusalem artichoke (same thing) I made them as sliced roasted potato dish but not as a fry it taste like potato and does aid in digestion and told it helped gut health. I got my at schnucks grocery they came from California hard to get not cheap. I would eat them all the time but not locally grown to get at my farmers market. They had little impact on my glucose level. Would love to see you try them as fries or fried breakfast potatoes

You guys have to try fried chayote next time! I've seen mixed reviews, mostly good. I would love to know what you guys think. If not as fries, then anything else would be just as interesting. 💜💜💜

Good video. Thanks. Watch Steve from Serious Keto turn jicama into salt and vinegar chips using his dehydrator. I tried it but couldn't cut them thin enough. I decided jicama has too many carbs for me anyway and I like it too much. Root vegetables just aren't worth it to me. Thanks for trying!

Just yesterday I took a simplified fathead dough that i figured out (8oz chredeed mozzarella, 1/2 cup almond flour, 1 egg, that's it) and pressed it in a tortilla press between greaded wax paper, cut the "tortillas" into strips and shallow fried. To me they were excellent cheese fries! They were also really good tossed in allulose and cinnamon!

Hey, this was great. I've been wanting to try find french fry replacement. I'm not supposed to eat potatoes :( I think the rutabaga is much better raw & shredded, than cooked. In Finland we always eat Rutabaga casserole (Lanttulaatikko) at Christmas, and it is yak !! I feel like my ex-husband used to cook those root parsleys but he called them different name. He didn't make fries but I remember I was plesently surprised how good they tasted, I might want to try those. How much did you pay for the jicama ? I've seen those here but they always are so big & heavy, and I feel like they might get bit pricey. Anyways, Thanks 👍

Have you guys tried this with the daikon radishes yet? I made your recipe for the au gratin "potatoes" with it and loved it! Also, you guys had me cracking up when you saw the parsnips actually had more carbs than potatoes. Love you guys!

I’m glad someone mentioned daikon. In my opinion, they would make better fries than any of these 4. Never made fries with them, but they are a great potato substitute.

I buy whole jicama, peel, boil, drain, toss with oil + salt then oven fry. Very filling and satisfying. Keeps well in the fridge if you make too much. Just reheat.

I just sliced jicama into small sized (but not shoestring) pieces, coated them in avocado oil and salt and roasted in air fryer 400 degrees for 9 minutes. They flop if you try to make them flop but when you bite into them they have a crunch. I did NOT boil the jicama first. 😊

Celeriac girls! It’s the best! I cut it up into chip sized pieces, I’ve tried them par boiled and left to dry then oven baked and done it just from raw they taste fabulous and the carbs and calories are very low for a lot! Try find one, I’m assuming it’s called celery root over there… thanks for trying these options so we don’t have to! .. I can5 believe you didn’t know about parsnips! Silly girls! 😂 I used to have them lot as I have an allergy to potato and those are the closest I’ve found that works until I went low carb.

I love Jicama! Peel it, wash it off, pat it dry and slice it - wonderful in salads as it adds a great crunch, or most of the time I just dip in Ranch! Not too much because of the carbs, but a nice crunchy treat - never cooked it and after watching your faces, I don't think I will! HA 😆😅🤣
