Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium turnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and chop the turnips into 1/2-inch cubes. Place them in a large bowl.
Drizzle the turnips with olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the turnips on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly golden.
While the turnips are roasting, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add the heavy cream to the melted butter, stirring occasionally until well combined and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the cheddar cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth.
Once the turnips are roasted, transfer them into a casserole dish and pour the cheese sauce over them.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low-carb cheesy turnips!
