I love these. I sub the vegetable oil for olive oil and just use sea salt to taste. Excellent!!! Just as good as potatoes fries...hubby agrees. I shouldn't have told the kids they were turnips, but my nine year old tried and didn't like.....next time I won't tell and see what happens.

Our family really didn't care for these. They never did get crispy. And when they caramelized, they became a little bitter.

I thought these were great. A few reviewers mentioned that the "fries" weren't crispy, so I added a shake or two of panko to the bag with the seasonings and cheese. I cut mine into steak fry shape, and they needed probably twice as long in the oven, but they came out with a nice crunch from the panko, and I enjoyed them very much. I will definitely make again using smoked paprika next time and perhaps a sharper cheese like romano or asiago. Thanks IM COOKIN!!

I'd never had turnips before, but I wanted to try them so I made this recipe. I thought it tasted delicious! The flavor combination was great. These aren't potato fries, of course, and I found that I didn't actually like them with ketchup the way I eat regular or sweet potato fries...but they were great on their own and with the brown gravy I also happened to be serving with the meal. My only issue was that they were pretty mushy. I cut them thin, like shoestring fries, since I had read in other reviews that larger fries didn't crisp, but I still didn't have any luck. They baked into a mushy fry-shape (but they still tasted good!). I ended up leaving half the fries in the oven to keep them warm for my husband's late dinner, and actually they had firmed up a bit more by the time he got to them. Maybe I just need to try baking them for 30-40 minutes instead. Thanks for the recipe; I will definitely make it again!

Maybe I did something wrong, but these were nothing like fries. They were solid and almost juicy inside, and not crunchy outside. Almost roasted? I won't be repeating the recipe.

Delicious while they are hot, but not so good when they cool off. I'd also suggest trying chili powder instead of the paprika. My entire family loved it!

They didn't come out crispy at all and it could be because I have an electric stove. I even tried one of Tyler Florence's tricks to heat up the pan in the oven so when the "fries" go on it they sear immediately. I added onion powder and salt once they were done cooking and the taste was delicious. I'm going to experiment with more of a chip style fry, as I noticed my thinner pieces had more of a crunch... Either way though they are still tasty little things! :)
