Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 pounds turnips peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary optional

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and cube the turnips into even pieces, about 1-inch in size.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed turnips, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat.
  4. If using, add fresh thyme or rosemary to the mixing bowl.
  5. Spread the seasoned turnips in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  7. Check for doneness; they should be golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
  8. Serve warm as a delightful side dish.

For an extra flavor boost, add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
