Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium (approximately 2 lbs total) rutabagas
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the rutabagas and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the cubed rutabagas to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften slightly.
Add the water, honey, brown sugar, salt, and pepper to the pan, stirring to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pan with a lid. Let the rutabagas simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the liquid has reduced to a thick glaze.
If the glaze reduces too quickly or the rutabagas need more time to soften, add a splash of water and continue cooking.
Once the rutabagas are tender and fully coated in the glaze, remove the pan from heat.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the glazed rutabagas to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
