Roasted Turnips Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss together the turnips, butter, thyme sprigs, shallots, olive oil and some salt and pepper in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Roast until the turnips begin to soften, about 30 minutes. Adjust the seasoning and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine turnips, cayenne, nutmeg, and oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss well to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan and toss gently to combine. Arrange turnips in a single layer and roast until golden on both sides, 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Steps:

• Remove the greens from the turnips and reserve. Peel and cut the bulbs into 1/4-inch wedges. Remove and wash the tender leaves from the stems of the turnip greens. Chop the leaves and set aside.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large cast-iron or other heavy-bottomed large skillet over medium heat. Add the turnip wedges and sprinkle with salt and pepper, stirring to coat with the butter and oil. Cook, stirring and flipping occasionally, until they are caramelized and tender, about 5 minutes per side. Add the honey, vinegar and pomegranate seeds, then cook until the mixture is combined and syrupy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the turnip leaves and saute until they are wilted and darken in color, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the turnips on a baking sheet. Scatter the garlic and thyme over the top. Drizzle with the butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
• Roast until the turnips are tender and golden, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Quarter and slice the peeled turnips into ¼-inch slices. Place in a medium mixing bowl. Slice the scallions into 1" to 2" segments and add to the sliced turnips. Drizzle the melted butter over the turnip/scallion mixture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Quarter, core, peel, and cut 1 of the apples into ¼-inch to ½-inch slices. Add to the turnip mixture. Toss gently to coat. Spread the turnip mixture onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the oven.
• After 10 minutes, toss the mixture on the tray, to promote even browning and caramelization. Return the tray to the oven on the bottom rack for an additional 10-12 minutes.
• Remove the tray from the oven. Drizzle the honey over the vegetables and return to the oven for an additional 1-2 minutes.
• Remove the tray from the oven. Drizzle the apple cider vinegar over the warm vegetables. Toss gently to coat. Mound the turnips and apples on a wide platter, and shave the remaining apple over the warm vegetables. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel the potatoes and turnips. Cut them into pieces about the same size and about 1/2 inch thick, so they will cook evenly. Toss the vegetables with a light coating of olive oil and season with salt and fresh-ground pepper. Sprinkle with chopped herbs or sprigs of herbs such as thyme, rosemary, sage, and bay leaves. Put the vegetables on a baking sheet or in a gratin dish and roast, stirring and turning the vegetables occasionally once they begin to color, until browned here and there and tender throughout, about 30 minutes. Take care not to overcook, or they can toughen and dry out.
• Add other vegetables, such as carrots, parsnips, rutabagas, winter squash, and fennel.
• While still hot from the oven, toss the vegetables with a mixture of finely chopped garlic and parsley.
• Eggplant is delicious roasted: Cut firm, shiny globe eggplant into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Brush the slices with olive oil on both sides, season with salt and fresh-ground pepper, and place on a baking sheet. Roast the eggplant at 400°F for 15 to 20 minutes, until the slices are nicely browned on the bottom. The slices will stick to the pan at first but will lift easily with a spatula once they are browned. Flip the slices over and cook for another 10 minutes or so, until browned on the other side. Keep an eye on them; the slices will cook faster on the second side.
