Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium turnips
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh rosemary
Instructions
Peel the turnips and cut them into evenly sized cubes, about 1-inch each to ensure uniform cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the turnip cubes to the pan and spread them out into a single layer.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika evenly over the turnips.
Let the turnips cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, allowing them to develop a golden-brown crust on one side.
Using a spatula, gently turn the turnips to brown on the other sides. Cook for an additional 5-8 minutes or until they are tender and golden all over.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary over the turnips during the last minute of cooking and stir to combine, allowing their aroma to infuse.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot as a side dish or keto-friendly snack.
