Baked Rutabaga Casserole image

Light and fluffy mashed and baked rutabagas with dill, green onions, and a savory crumble topping. This is an altered version of the many root vegetable "puff" recipes. Instead of the nut-crouton crumble, try it with a sprinkle of cheese over the top.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium (blank)s rutabagas, peeled and chopped into 1 1/2-inch cubes
2 each eggs, separated, divided
2 tablespoons butter
1 green onion, chopped, or more to taste
2 pinches dried dill weed, or more to taste
1 dash paprika
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash salt
1 dash ground black pepper
4 each croutons, or more to taste
2 tablespoons chopped almonds, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add rutabagas; boil until tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, blend or whisk egg whites in a bowl until thick and frothy.
  • Drain water from rutabagas and mash with a potato masher. Stir in butter while still hot so it melts and is distributed evenly, followed by egg yolks, green onion, dill, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour into a 9-inch ceramic or Pyrex® casserole dish that is approximately 1 1/2-inch thick.
  • Combine croutons and almonds in the bowl of a food processor until crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used a vegan cheese sauce in this casserole. It turned out great! The casserole was still creamy and flavorful, even without the dairy.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover mashed rutabagas. I added some chopped ham and peas to the casserole and it was a hit with my family.

I'm not a big fan of rutabagas, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The cheese sauce and spices helped to offset the strong flavor of the rutabagas.

This recipe was easy to follow and the casserole turned out great! I used sharp cheddar cheese and it gave the casserole a nice tangy flavor. I also added a bit of garlic powder and onion powder to the spice mix.
