Baked Turnip Chips, an easy baked turnips recipe that makes crunchy, crispy turnip chips in the oven—no air fryer and no dehydrator needed. Only four ingredients!
Prep oven: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Wash and cut turnips: Cut turnip bulbs from leaves and wash well to remove excess dirt. Slice the turnip bulbs thin, about 1/4" (or 1/2 cm) thick.
2 bunches turnips
Prep turnips for roasting: On a medium baking sheet, add olive oil and sliced turnips. Toss to coat the turnips lightly in oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 pinch salt and pepper, 1 pinch red pepper flakes
Bake turnip chips: Roast turnips for a total of 20-25 minutes, tossing every 5-10 minutes to brown all sides of turnip slices. Remove from the oven and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
Recipe notes: An average bunch of turnips is about 1/2 pound (225 grams), without the stems and leaves. Baked turnips are best eaten immediately after baking if you're looking for a crispy chip texture.
Prep ahead: Get ahead by washing and slicing turnips up to two days ahead of time before roasting.
Leftovers + storage: Store leftover turnip chips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. However, the baked "chips" won't stay crispy and will be soft leftover.
