These easy oven-roasted turnips are tender on the inside with beautifully caramelized, golden-brown edges. Tossed with olive oil and simple seasonings, they make a delicious and healthy side dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds turnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and peel the turnips. Trim the ends and cut into evenly sized 1-inch cubes.
  3. Place the turnips in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the turnips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between the pieces.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the turnips with a spatula.
  6. Continue roasting for another 15 to 20 minutes until fork-tender and golden brown around the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Choose small or medium turnips for a sweeter and milder flavor.
  • Cut turnips into uniform pieces for even roasting.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure proper caramelization.
  • Add fresh thyme, rosemary, or minced garlic for extra flavor.
  • For a sweeter variation, drizzle with maple syrup during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in a 400°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve alongside roasted chicken, grilled fish, or your favorite main dish.
