Loaded Taco Fries
If you can believe it, these are RUTABAGA fries! They have been a huge game changer for me in my weight loss journey. They’re a root vegetable with zero carbs and zero points!
People ask me all the time whether it is the same as a turnip. They are close but not the exact same. Rutabaga’s are generally larger than turnips. Usually, the rutabaga are brownish-yellow and turnips are smaller white and purple. Rutabaga’s are slightly sweeter and turnips have more of a radish flavor. They are BOTH delicious, but I always go for the rutabaga!

HOLY RUTABAGAS! This is always a delicious bowl! Full of flavors and lots of food for a small amount of points! Rutabaga fries are so easy and a great alternative to potatoes if you are looking for less points, carbs and/or points! They are a root vegetable and how cute are they as fries?! They really do look the same.
