Parmesan-Crusted Turnip Fries

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2. Spread turnips in a single layer onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese.
3. Bake, turning halfway through, until fries are golden-brown, tender and crispy, about 20-25 minutes.
4. Garnish with parsley and serve.
