Sheet-Pan Rutabaga Fries

Ingredients:

• 1 rutabaga (peeled, chopped into 1/2 inch thick sticks)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon of dried or fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil or canola oil

Ingredients for side sauce:

• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup mayo (or vegan mayo)
• 2 tablespoons dijon or any mustard (such as Norman’s spicy beer mustard)
• 1 tablespoon of hot sauce (such as Tabasco)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. To prevent sticking, cover your sheet pan with a layer of tin foil and place the pan the oven to preheat along with it.
2. Peel and cut the rutabaga and put them in a medium-sized bowl. First, drizzle the olive oil on them. Then, add all the spices. Combine until all the spices are spread evenly throughout.
3. Pull your pan out of the preheated oven. Arrange all your fries in a single layer and bake for 30 minutes.
4. While baking, combine all the ingredients for the side sauce in a small dish. Combine thoroughly. Taste for adjustments. This recipe can be doubled and kept in the fridge for 2 weeks.
5. Once the fries are golden browned, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool on paper towels. Serve with dipping sauce. To reheat, simply reheat at 450 in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
