Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large turnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the turnips thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Use a fork to pierce each turnip several times to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Rub the turnips with olive oil, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
Place the turnips directly on the oven rack and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the turnips from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Carefully cut an X on the top of each turnip and squeeze gently from the bottom to open them up.
Top each turnip with shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt over the hot turnip.
Add a dollop of sour cream over the melted cheese.
Sprinkle with chopped chives and crumbled bacon for extra flavor and texture.
Serve immediately while the turnips are hot and the cheese is gooey.
