Fried turnips with parmesan

4 servings

30 minutes

Fried turnip with parmesan is an elegant and simple dish of French cuisine that combines the soft sweetness of baked turnip with the rich, tangy flavor of parmesan. In the past, turnip was popular in Europe as an affordable root vegetable, but over time it began to be seen as a refined ingredient. Baking gives it a caramelized texture, while spices add subtle warming notes. This side dish pairs wonderfully with meat dishes, especially roasted poultry or beef, but can also be served as a standalone vegetarian dish. Its ease of preparation makes it ideal for family dinners or festive gatherings, adding a touch of sophistication to any table.
