Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thoroughly wash and peel the Asian turnips if desired. Cut them into bite-sized wedges or chunks for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Add the cut turnips to the bowl and toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated with the honey mixture.
Spread the coated turnips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Roast the turnips in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
Remove the turnips from the oven and let them cool slightly. Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for garnish before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on their own. Perfect for pairing with roasted meats or rice dishes.
