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.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

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

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).

Meanwhile, blend or whisk egg whites in a bowl until thick and frothy.
Drain water from rutabagas and mash with a potato masher.

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.

Tips:

Choose the right rutabagas. Look for firm, smooth rutabagas with no blemishes or bruises. The smaller the rutabagas, the sweeter they will be.
Peel and cut the rutabagas evenly. This will ensure that they cook evenly. If you are using a food processor to shred the rutabagas, be sure to use the grating disc with the largest holes.
Do not overcook the rutabagas. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked rutabagas will become mushy and lose their flavor.
Use fresh ingredients. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your casserole the best flavor.
Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many ways to make a rutabaga casserole. You can add different vegetables, cheeses, or seasonings to create a dish that suits your taste.

Conclusion:

Rutabaga casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover rutabagas, and it can also be made ahead of time and reheated when you are ready to serve it. Whether you are looking for a hearty side dish or a main course, rutabaga casserole is sure to please.
