Roasting turnips mellows their sharp flavor, makes them wonderfully tender, and turns them into the perfect vegetable side dish​.

Categories     Side Dish     Dinner

Time 1h13m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds turnips
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fine or coarse sea salt (or more to taste)
Optional: ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 F. While the oven heats, trim and peel the turnips. Tender baby turnips can be simply scrubbed instead of peeled, but their peel will still be a bit more fibrous than the tender insides. Leave baby turnips whole; cut bigger ones into 1-inch pieces.
  • Put the prepared turnips in a baking pan or on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil. Use your hands or 2 large spoons to toss the turnips around a bit to coat them thoroughly with the oil. Sprinkle them with salt.
  • Roast the turnips until they're tender and browned. Start checking them after about 30 minutes. Depending on their size and age, it may take up to an hour or more to become completely tender. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper, if you'd like, and serve.

SAVORY OVEN-ROASTED TURNIPS



Savory Oven-Roasted Turnips image

I have long made oven-roasted red-skin potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots in much this same way, but recently discovered that I can almost *ALMOST* fool myself into thinking I am eating those yummy potatoes with these turnips...

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lbs turnips, peeled, quartered and thinly sliced (1/8th in)
1 small yellow sweet onion, thinly sliced (such as maui or walla walla)
2 -4 garlic cloves, minced (I use 4 (or more)
butter-flavored cooking spray
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (can leave out if you don't like heat)
kosher salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450*.
  • In a high-sided 13x9 in pan (I use an old metal one because I find it gives me the best caramelization on the turnips/onions), combine turnips, onions, and garlic. Spray generously with cooking spray and toss. You could also use olive oil.
  • Add all seasonings. I usually start with about 2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of black pepper and then taste them each time I stir and adjust those seasonings to taste, but I am a salt-fiend : }.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and stir to allow the veggies to cook evenly. (I taste for seasoning at this point.)
  • Return to oven and bake another 15 minutes. Remove and stir again. Depending on how you like your turnips and how thick you sliced them, they may be done at this point. I like mine pretty well done and with some nice caramelization so I return them to the oven and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.

SAVORY ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES



Savory Roasted Root Vegetables image

Beets were my sworn enemy until I tried them like this, it's a great way to use root vegetables. I think the beets add a beautiful red color to the dish, but if it bothers you to serve pinkish vegetables, substitute parsnips, rutabaga, or any similar vegetable; be creative!

Time 1h15m

1 cup diced, raw beet

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
salt and pepper to taste
⅓ cup dry white wine
1 cup torn beet greens

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place the beet, carrot, onion, potatoes, garlic, and garbanzo beans into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with the olive oil, then season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring once midway through baking. Remove the baking dish from the oven, and stir in the wine. Return to the oven, and bake until the wine has mostly evaporated and the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes more. Stir in the beet greens, allowing them to wilt from the heat of the vegetables.

Tips:

  • Select the right turnips: Choose small to medium-sized turnips with smooth, unblemished skin. Fresh turnips should feel firm and heavy for their size.
  • Trim and prepare the turnips: Peel the turnips and cut them into uniform-sized wedges or cubes. Smaller pieces will cook more evenly and quickly.
  • Season generously: Turnips benefit from bold seasoning. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried herbs like thyme or rosemary.
  • Roast at a high temperature: High heat will help caramelize the turnips and bring out their natural sweetness. Aim for a roasting temperature between 400°F (200°C) and 450°F (230°C).
  • Toss the turnips during roasting: This will ensure that they cook evenly and develop a golden-brown crust.
  • Roast until tender: The turnips are done roasting when they are tender when pierced with a fork. Depending on the size of the turnips and the roasting temperature, this can take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes.
  • Serve immediately: Roasted turnips are best served hot or warm. They can be enjoyed as a side dish, added to salads, or used in grain bowls and pasta dishes.

Conclusion:

Oven-roasted turnips are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They are easy to make and can be seasoned to your liking. With their slightly sweet and earthy flavor, roasted turnips are a great addition to any meal. Whether you serve them simply roasted or toss them with herbs, spices, or glazes, they are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give roasted turnips a try!
