Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Turnips
- 1 medium Rutabaga
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the turnips and rutabaga. Cut them into 1-inch cubes to mimic the shape of traditional potato wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cubed turnips and rutabaga to the bowl and toss until the pieces are evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
Place the seasoned turnips and rutabaga pieces on a large baking sheet in a single layer. It’s important they have space to roast and not steam.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, stir the vegetables to ensure even cooking. Continue roasting for another 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the roasted low-carb 'potatoes' to a serving plate, and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish before serving.
