Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (about 1 lb) rutabaga
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the rutabaga and cut it into small, evenly-sized cubes, about 1/2 inch each. This will ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
In a large bowl, combine the cubed rutabaga with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all pieces evenly with the spices and oil.
Spread the seasoned rutabaga cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there's enough space between them to allow for proper roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove and stir gently, flipping some of the pieces for even browning.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes or until the rutabaga cubes are crispy and golden brown.
Once cooked, remove the tray from the oven and allow the rutabaga cubes to cool slightly.
Transfer the crispy rutabaga cubes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot as a low-carb side dish to complement your breakfast.
