This simple, sweet-savory recipe brings out the natural sweetness of turnips with a honey glaze, making them a fantastic side dish for roasted meats or vegetarian mains.
INGREDIENTS:
4 medium turnips, peeled and cut into wedges
2 tablespoon butter or olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped (optional)
METHOD:
In a large skillet, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the turnip wedges and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften. Drizzle the honey over the turnips and season with salt and pepper.
Continue cooking, stirring often, for another 10-12 minutes, until the turnips are golden brown and tender.
Sprinkle with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve warm.
NOTE: Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar to the skillet for a tangy twist.
