Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large rutabagas
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the rutabagas and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to form a well-blended seasoning mixture.
Add the cubed rutabagas to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned rutabagas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the rutabagas halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
