Roasting mellows the sometimes sharp flavor of turnips and concentrates their texture into a tender, melting vegetable in this easy recipe. Serve these Roasted Turnips alongside roasted meats or a simple Roasted Chicken.
This recipe is really a method and you should feel free to change the amount to suit your needs. Try adding herbs (rosemary is particularly yummy) or spices, or combine the turnips with other root vegetables as you like.
