Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large (about 2 pounds total) rutabaga
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Peel the rutabaga using a vegetable peeler, then cut it into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
Transfer the cubed rutabaga to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the rutabaga cubes in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned rutabaga in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that the pieces are not overcrowded. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping the rutabaga pieces halfway through, until they are golden brown and fork-tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the rutabaga cool for a few minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the roasted rutabaga warm as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite main course.
