Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
2. Using potato peeler or paring knife, peel rutabaga. Cut into 1/3 x 3 inch fries. Place in bowl and drizzle with oil and chili powder. Toss together to lightly coat.
3. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange fries on top in a single layer. Bake in center of preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping and stirring fries a couple of times during baking. Fries should be golden brown and firm on the outside and soft in the center. Add some salt and pepper, to taste, if you wish.
4. In mini blender, combine tomato chipotle sauce ingredients. Whirl until smooth. Add pinch of salt and splash of lime juice for some zesty brightness if you wish. Transfer to bowl and set aside.
5. In small bowl, combine creamy dill sauce ingredients. Stir together to blend. Add more seasonings to taste, if desired. Set aside.
6. When fries are done, transfer to small platter. Sprinkle with chopped herbs and serve with sauces for dipping on the side. Rutabaga fries are delicious served as a side dish with any main course.
