For some, just mentioning turnips or rutabagas might bring back haunting childhood memories of an ugly vegetable with a bitter flavor. Forget the sad, soggy turnips of the past\u2014it’s time for these little roots to show off their true potential. In the hands of an able cook, a well-cooked turnip tastes heavenly.<\/p>\n
Roasted turnip recipes are all about giving this root vegetable crispy, caramelized edges and a soft, almost sweet interior that tastes like a cross between a potato and a carrot. They’re excellent with other roasted winter vegetables<\/a> like potatoes and parsnips, but they also work well as a low-carb recipe<\/a> you can add to any meal. One bite of these golden beauties will make you wonder why cooking with turnips hasn’t been a part of your weekly lineup. Roast a batch and give turnips the reboot they so richly deserve!<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Place the turnips in a greased 13×9-inch baking pan or rimmed baking sheet.<\/p>\n Drizzle them with oil and sprinkle them with salt, pepper and garlic powder, if using.<\/p>\n Toss the turnips to coat them in the oil and seasonings.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>Preheating the oven<\/a> is essential. Starting at a lower temperature ensures the vegetable cooks all the way through. We’ll increase the temperature later to add color.<\/p>\n Roast the turnips for 30 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 450\u00b0 and bake the turnips for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until they have some color and are tender when pierced with a fork.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> To evenly roast the turnips, toss them with a spatula before the final bake.<\/p>\n Store roasted turnips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.<\/p>\n Technically, yes. Freeze roasted turnips in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to three months. When thawed, they may lose some of that perfect roasted texture, but they’ll still taste good.<\/p>\n The oven or an air fryer is your friend here. A quick reheat at 400\u00b0 will return roasted turnips to their crispy best. Microwaving will make them mushy, so avoid that if possible.<\/p>\n Always! The skin can be tough and slightly bitter, so peel your turnips for the best texture and taste. We love using a Swiss vegetable peeler; it’s one of the best kitchen gadgets<\/a> you’ll ever own.<\/p>\n Their simple elegance makes roasted turnips an excellent addition to your dinner table. They are an excellent side dish for a roasted beef tenderloin<\/a>, grilled chicken<\/a>, or even as a topper on a cozy bowl of grain salad<\/a>. Anywhere you think you might use roasted sweet potatoes<\/a>, try roasted turnips instead for a tasty way to keep them guessing.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Roasted turnips have a sweet, nutty flavor and golden edges that make them crave-worthy.
