Time 1h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups heavy cream
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 bundle fresh thyme
Pinch cayenne
Kosher salt
1/2 stick butter, plus more for greasing
2 pounds turnips, peeled and very thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

  • Grease the baking dish and layer in one-third of the sliced turnips. Sprinkle one-sixth of the grated cheese over the turnips and dot with one-sixth of the butter. Remove the thyme and garlic from the cream and pour one-sixth of the cream over the turnips.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Sweet Potatoes and Turnips: Select sweet potatoes with smooth, unblemished skin and firm flesh. For turnips, choose small to medium-sized ones with tender skin.
  • Prepare Vegetables Properly: Peel and cut the sweet potatoes and turnips into uniform-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. For the swirl effect, cut the vegetables into thin slices.
  • Use Fresh Herbs and Spices: Incorporate fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or sage for a burst of flavor. Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and other spices like paprika or cumin.
  • Don't Overcook: Both sweet potatoes and turnips cook relatively quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. This will result in mushy vegetables that lose their vibrant color and nutrients.
  • Roast for Extra Flavor: Roasting the vegetables enhances their natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges for a slightly crispy texture. You can also grill or pan-fry them for a different flavor profile.
  • Add Finishing Touches: Garnish the roasted sweet potato and turnip swirl with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of nuts or seeds for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

The sweet potato and turnip swirl is a vibrant and flavorful side dish that adds a pop of color and nutrition to any meal. With its combination of sweet and earthy flavors, this dish is a versatile accompaniment to various main courses. By following these tips, you can achieve perfectly roasted vegetables that retain their vibrant colors, nutrients, and delicious flavors. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and cooking methods to create a unique and satisfying side dish that will impress your family and friends.
