Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Swede (rutabaga)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 milliliters Water (for steaming)
Instructions
Peel the swede (rutabaga) and cut it into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Fill a pot with 500 milliliters of water and place a steamer basket inside. Ensure the water does not touch the bottom of the basket.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
Place the swede cubes into the steamer basket, cover the pot with a lid, and steam for 15-20 minutes or until the cubes are fork-tender.
While the swede is steaming, finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
Once the swede is tender, transfer it to a bowl. Add the butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper while the swede is still warm. Toss gently until evenly coated and the butter has melted.
Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the swede and give it one final toss.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as part of your keto-friendly meal.
