50 Recipes 2011, #7: rutabaga fries

As my winter CSA share dwindles to a close -- only one more pickup left after Thursday! -- the farm starts distributing rutabagas, which apparently keep in the root cellar longer than turnips, the vegetable they're displacing from the rotation. And I like rutabagas, but there are only so many times I can mash them or roast them with other root veggies before I get kind of bored.

Saveur's website pointed me to this rosemary rutabaga fries recipe, which seemed worth a try. I substituted cumin and thyme, since those seasonings worked better with the rest of the meal, and the fries turned out very well. They're still not exciting, but I think there's only so much one can ask from rutabagas.
