Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large rutabaga
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
Peel the rutabagas and cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure they cook evenly.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, melted butter, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Stir until well blended.
Add the rutabaga cubes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the maple syrup mixture.
Spread the coated rutabaga cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Roast the rutabaga in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the cubes are tender and caramelized on the edges.
For extra flavor, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the rutabaga during the last 5 minutes of baking.
Remove the rutabaga from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy your Maple Glazed Rutabaga as a side dish to complement any meal!
