This flavorful, unusual recipe prompts folks to rethink their assumptions about rutabagas. Be sure to boil beets, turnips and rutabagas first until they are tender-firm, as they don’t cook as fast as the potatoes. Boil the beets in a separate pot, or all of your veggies will turn purple.
Yield: Serves 8
Ingredients
- 8 cups beets, turnips, rutabagas and potatoes, cleaned, peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 21/4 T. garlic salt
- 2¼ T. dried oregano
- 1½ T. sugar
- 1½ T. dried thyme
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Mix spices and oil in a glass jar and let sit for an hour or more.
Place veggies in a 9- by 13-inch baking pan. Drizzle spice and oil mixture over veggies and toss to coat. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
