Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Turnips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash, peel, and dice the turnips into 1-inch cubes, ensuring uniform sizing for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced turnips, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the turnips with the spices and oil.
Spread the coated turnips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there is space between each piece to allow for proper roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning the turnips halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Once the turnips are golden brown on the edges and fork-tender, remove them from the oven.
(Optional) Garnish the roasted turnips with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a low-carb side dish and enjoy!
