Ingredients & Variations

TURNIPS

They have a mild flavor so they can be roasted with other root vegetables. Try carrots, beets, or parsnips!

SEASONINGS

Even though this recipe is fairly basic with butter, olive oil, sage, and salt and pepper, don’t be afraid to try using oregano, or even rosemary.

Peel First!

Unlike roasted beets (which are easier peeled after cooking), turnips are easier peeled before cooking.

  1. Cut off the top and the root with a good sharp knife.
  2. Using a potato peeler or a paring knife, peel from top to bottom. That’s all there is to it!

How to Roast Turnips

Roasting turnips is as easy as 1-2-3!

  1. Peel and cut turnips into equally sized pieces so they roast evenly.
  2. Toss turnips with remaining ingredients (except for the butter) and place in a prepared casserole dish.
  3. Roast until the turnips are tender and then toss them with butter and serve immediately.

How to Store and Reheat

Turnips are easily kept for up to 4 days in the refrigerator if they are in an airtight container. They can even be frozen and pulled out whenever the need for a low-carb, healthy side dish is in order!

An Easy Side Dish This recipe brings out the very best flavors with just a few ingredients and even fewer steps! Squash takes just minutes to roast and has great flavor. The simple crispy coating clings to each piece adding flavor and crunch!

Fennel Is, Without a Doubt, Our Favorite Spring Herb

Image
Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which we break down our favorite unique seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more.   This week we’ve got fronds on the brain—fennel fronds, that is. You can find fresh fennel year round, but it really peaks during spring. Once you get your hands on fennel, you’ll probably be taken by the pleasant, anise-like aroma and then immediately think to yourself: “Okay…but what do I do with this?” Because as cool as fennel is to look at, and as lovely as it smells, it’s not the most common herb to cook with. Adding crushed fennel seeds to meatballs? Duh! But roasted fresh fennel wedges as part of a weeknight meal? Can’t say that’s exactly in my repertoire.    So if you want to start cooking with fennel, we’ll go over what to look for when selecting fennel, how to store it, and how to use every part of the plant from bulb to stalk to fronds—and more! Licorice haters fear not, there might be hope for you and fennel after all.   What to Look For First things
