Turnips have a slightly bitter taste to them, so cooking the onions in this recipe will be the key to getting more of a sweet taste out of the dish! The bigger a turnip is, the more bitter it tastes so aim to choose ones from the market that are about the size of a tennis ball.
Ingredients
2 lbs turnips with purple tops, cut into wedges
4 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 shallots, sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Toss together the turnips, butter, thyme sprigs, shallots, olive oil and some salt and pepper in a 13x9" baking dish.
Roast until the turnips begin to soften (approx. 30 minutes).
Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve.
