Turnip & Carrot Fries

I recently rediscovered my love of Turnip Fries and have been enjoying them quite frequently. I also discovered that the fries taste even better with the addition of carrots.  The sweet carrots make the ideal complement to the turnip root. This is just the basic version of the recipe but you can of course change it up with  additional spices and seasonings.

Note: The original version of turnip fries is slightly more complicated but either way works well. I typically don't put the turnip fries in the salad spinner, or use a pizza stone, etc any more--it does help to make them crispier but of course, also takes longer. You can decide which method you want to use.)
