Rutabaga (Swede) Fries

I made these yummy bites last night and I thought I'd share how I did it.

2 large rutabagas (swedes) Cut into steak fry shapes (bigger is better, they shrink)
pinch smoked paprika
pinch granulated garlic
pinch chili powder
a few dashes of Ms. Dash
oil spray

Pre heat your oven to 450F (gas mark 8)
Pre boil the rutabaga for 10 min then drain and pat dry. Put in a bowl with the seasonings to coat. Use salt if you'd like. I try to avoid the stuff.
On a foil lined cookie sheet, sprayed with canola or vegetable oil spray, spread the fries out into a single layer. Bake 2o min until crispy. The rack should be in the middle of the oven. Serve alone or with this onion dip I made for the family.

Caramelized onion dip

1 huge yellow onion chopped up
1/3 pint of fat free sour cream
1 squirt light mayo
salt and pepper
1/2 tsp thyme

In a frying pan cook the onions on med low til a light brown color. Stir occasionally so they don't burn. While still warm but not hot, put in a blender or food processor. Whiz them good. Add the remaining ingredients whiz again. Put in the fridge a few hours for the flavors to blend. Yum.
