My next guest post-er (is that a word??) is from Jennifer of Predominately Paleo. She has an amazing blog and, in my opinion, is one of the next “big things” in terms of her blog. She has fun and super unique recipes and her writing is FULL of her personality.
And she’s also the Yucca Queen. I may have given her that name, but that’s how I see her. If you are someone who struggles with being unable to eat starchy veggies, then yucca or these turnip chips might not be for you. But if your body can handle more starches, this recipe is amazing. I can’t do many starches myself, but if I could I swear I would eat turnips, parsnips and rutabaga daily. But this recipe for turnip chips is more of a treat snack if that makes sense.
I am a bonafide snacker. I am neither ashamed nor embarrassed by this fact. I love to nosh and find that it helps keep me from turning into a total beast at meal time. I used to snack on *cough* crackers, goldfish, you know, all the stuff that would send me running for cover now.
I posted my recipe for nutty kale chips awhile back and they certainly satisfy the snack urge. I wanted to try another yummy snack idea with a different set of nutrients. Cue TURNIPS! Surely turnips can be made into chips, right? Of course they can! And they were.
Ingredients
1 large turnip, cleaned and peeled
Seasoning of your choice: I used garlic sea salt on one batch and cajun seasoning (omit for aip) on another
Avocado oil for frying
Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes. Predominantly Paleo Website
