Oh the rutabaga. I feel like this little cruciferous vegetable gets a bad rap. I mean, It’s kind of hideous. It’s the step sister the turnip, just a littler rougher around the edges. True story, rutabagas are said to be a cross between cabbage and turnips but a tad sweeter and lower in water content.  Yes I just went there. Nerded out on this vegetable. And I’ll get more into that in a minute.

Hang with me. This baked Rutabaga recipe will come to fruition. You’re perfect crispy BBQ veggie chip appetizer is on the horizon…

Gluten free BBQ Baked Rutabaga Chips! Healthy flavorful side dish for Summer BBQ's or any time of year! Rutabaga is a root vegetable that's easy to bake and cook with! A great lower carb and paleo option for baked potato chips. #homemade #paleo #veggiechips #vegan #whole30

Just letting you know this BBQ Baked Rutabaga Chips recipe was originally published in Spring 2015. I retested, rephotographed, updated content and URL. Now I am republishing it for you today. A Cotter Crunch oldie but goodie is now easier to make and better tasting! Thank you for supporting Y’all!.


The backstory.

You see, the Kiwi (a.k.a. the husband) is not a huge fan of squash or Sweet potato. Gasp! I know. I, on the other hand, am quite obsessed. It’s my starchy veggie of choice. Spiralized and all! Starchy root vegetables are also great for fuel and healthy resistant starch. That being said, I needed to find another “HEALTHY SWAP” that we could both like but with similar nutrient density. Regular potatoes, sure, those are tasty and perfect glycogen food for the muscles, but when it comes down to taste and vitamin rich components, we needed a better veg.

And then I realized that rutabaga might just be that runner up, or even better, a winner!

Here’s more of rutabaga nerding out part. You’re welcome.

Rutabaga may be white in color (like potato) but it is quite deliciously sweet and nutritious. It is EXTREMELY versatile to use, and like Cinderella at midnight, give it a sparkly slipper and it will be the beauty of the ball. Oh goodness, somebody please stop me with the analogies!

Gluten free BBQ Baked Rutabaga Chips! Healthy flavorful side dish for Summer BBQ's or any time of year! Rutabaga is a root vegetable that's easy to bake and cook with! These chips are super tasty and quick to make. #paleo #vegan and #whole30 friendly EAT UP!

In all seriousness, Rutabaga is the unsung veggie hero of cold weather temps. A healthy lower carb swap for baked potato chips (ahem, baked rutabaga veggie chips), for baked or roasted potato recipes, mashed potatoes, and more! Rutabagas are also budget friendly., healthy, and usually found in the grocery store year round. WINNER!

Now I know taste is important, but so is its value, nutrition wise. Let’s dig a little deeper, shall we?

Why you need to get your hands on a rutabaga.

  • High in Vitamin C, like half the RDA worth! (hello ANTIOXIDANTS!)
  • Good source of plant based iron. Remember, when you have a food that is high in Vitamin C, it can help enhance it’s Iron (non heme) absorption. If you check out my Iron Rich meal plan, it goes into detail about that information.
  • It’s a great low carb alternative, as mentioned above. A light snack veggie chip or bake crisp . Heck, you can even make veggie fries! 
  • Rich in beta-carotene-rich (like my beloved starchy sweet potatoes)
  • Excellent  source of potassium, magnesium, calcium, and manganese. All super duper important minerals for ENERGY production in the body and your bones.
  • Good source of fiber (um, need i say more?)

See, I told you. It’s A WINNER! And if you are easily entertained, like me, then check out the world’s largest rutabaga ever grown here. That’s a lot of Vitamin C people!

Description

Easy BBQ Baked Rutabaga Chips. Healthy, paleo/vegan friendly.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large rutabagas or 3 small to medium  (about the size of a fist)
  • 1–1.5 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil. For crispier chips, use a coconut oil or avocado cooking spray
  • 1 tbsp BBQ Spice Seasoning of choice (check ingredients for hidden sugars/gluten)
  • Dash of sea salt and black pepper
  • Optional 1/8 ot 1/4 tsp garlic or onion powder
  • Fresh cilantro and lemon/lime wedges to serve
  • optional toppings – Red pepper flakes. Grated hard cheese (omit for paleo/vegan)
  • Dipping sauce options: Paleo ranch dressing, tomato sauce, spicy ketchup, aoili

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450F. Wash and Cut rutabagas into fine slices. A mandoline slices works best to cut into about 1/4 to 1/2 in thick or slices. The thinner the slices, the faster they will bake.
  2. In a small bowl or ziplock bag, place all your spices and oils.
  3. Carefully coat your rutabaga chips in the bowl with oil and spices or in the bag.
  4. Lay them flat on a cookie sheet and spread evenly. Place in oven.
  5. If your chips are very thin, be sure to check on them often so they don’t burn. Bake for 25 minutes, turning them half way.
  6. After 25 minutes, reduce to 350F and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until crispy. Cover if they start to burn on edges.
  7. Bake longer or shorter for texture to be more or less crispy.
  8. Remove for oven and let cool.
  9. Transfer to bowl or plate. Season with extra red pepper flakes or smoked sea salt if desired.

Anyways, back to my story. Since the kiwi does not prefer sweet potatoes, I was determined to get him like rutabagas, for the sake of my nutrition nerd sanity. I put on my magic cooking hat and went to work in the kitchen. Just me and a few rutabagas.

Well what’d ya know, just a little slicing, dicing, and BBQ seasoning and you’ve got yourself… drum roll please….

    Hey Lindsay! I’m also Lindsay. Quick question: How do you store these? I want to make a big batch but if we have to put in fridge, they get soggy (well, my other rutabaga chips do).

      You can definitely keep them out at room temp. Just make sure they are sealed tight. THey might get soft after a few days but you can always pop them back in the oven for a bit to crispen up, if needed. Just a thought.

    These were so amazing once again your recipes don’t disappoint. I didn’t have bbq seasoning so I just baked them plain. I used my food process chop setting disc so they came out perfectly crispy. I cooked them a total of 45 minutes. They came out beautiful. We tipped it with ketchup. So amazed how these taste like a potato. I hope you come out with other cookbooks soon

    Just made these! Actually still making these…. I have had them in the oven at 450 for 3o minutes so far and then at 350 for ad additional 30 minutes. I don’t use mandolins, bc trauma! ah! , so i sliced them as thin as i could with a sharp kitchen knife. I had one GIGANTIC rutabaga from #misfitsmarket. Im hoping they are at least a little crispy soon! Then I would trust that they would get crispy as they cool. Is that what is supposed to happen? I used a little extra oil as well in order to coat them thoroughly, but thinly. I’m dying to try them! They smell delish! What a great idea!!

    You are confusing rutabaga and turnip.

    1. You include a picture of a turnip

    2. You note rutabaga is white inside (no. It is yellow! Which is why it used to be called a yellow turnip)

    3. Turnip may be the size of a fist. A rutabaga is a huge waxy ball.

    My spouse wants me to turn any and all rutabagas into pasties . . . um, not that type of pasty. He’s from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan–that kind of pasty.
    I love the idea, though, and will try this with some of the many turnips that keep finding our way into the farm share.

    Cauliflower is sitting in a corner crying right now ;). Really, though, wow. That’s a great new way to prepare the often overlooked rutabaga. I’ve only had it mashed so far and while okay wasn’t too impressed by it. But chips? And BBQ-flavour – a taste that isn’t found too often over here, much less in vegan dishes? Yes, please.

      haha well cauliflower has been in the spotlight enough, he can sit in the corner and give brother rutabaga a chance! LOL! right?

    You had me at BBQ!
    I don’t know what got into me this past weekend but I couldn’t get enough BBQ sauce and was putting lots of it on almost anything I could and than made the mistake of looking at the nutrition label when helping my parents clean up from the reunion.

    I’ve never eaten rutabaga! I always look at it in the store and wonder what I would do with it– now I know! I pinned it- because I’m in San Diego on vacation. I will have to order a few in my CSA box and will be making when I get home! xoxo

    While I love sweet potatoes too, my husband is definitely like yours — a much bigger fan of the white rice and potatoes. Maybe he’d eat these chips?! I’ve never used a rutabaga in my cooking before, but I feel like I might need to try this. I bet my BBQ-loving boys would even eat these! Pinned. 🙂
