Garlic & Roasted Butter Turnips
by Dishing Up the Dirt
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes | Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 2 bunches of salad turnips or whatever hearty vegetables you have on hand (about 2 1/2 pounds with the greens removed)
- 8-10 unpeeled garlic cloves
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 10-12 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted*
- salt and pepper to taste
* Use Roasted Garlic, Basil, and Parsley butter to make this extra amazing.
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- Remove the greens from the turnips (save them for another use) and slice the larger turnips into quarters and the smaller turnips in half. They should be about 1/4 inch thick in diameter.
- On a rimmed baking sheet toss the sliced turnips with the garlic cloves, shallots and thyme. Drizzle with the melted butter (melt the butter on a stovetop) and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and bake until the turnips are tender and lightly browed, about 30-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
