Roasted Rutabaga

This is a new recipe I discovered this past Thanksgiving. We wanted to try a a new vegetable. I have to admit rutabaga, or yellow turnip as it is sometimes called, was something I wasn’t totally wild about trying, but it turned out great. I love it now! Definitely a repeat!

Step: 1

Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step: 2

Place rutabaga in a large resealable plastic bag and drizzle olive oil over it. Seal the bag tightly and shake until rutabaga is nicely covered with oil. Open the bag and add salt, sugar, basil, and oregano. Seal the bag again and shake gently until spices are evenly distributed. Transfer rutabaga to a nonstick baking sheet.

Step: 3

Roast in the preheated oven until tender and golden, stirring halfway through, about 40 minutes.

The most obvious way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick something different. When you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple healthy dish . Made steak? Go for something light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to push more often your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the cooking items . But sometimes you can made a dish do double-duty .
