Tender rutabagas coated in a rich, buttery brown sugar glaze make a delicious sweet and savory side dish. This comforting recipe brings out the natural sweetness of rutabagas with a beautifully caramelized finish.

Ingredients

  • 1 rutabaga, peeled and cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel the rutabaga and cut it into evenly sized cubes.
  2. Place the cubed rutabaga in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rutabaga is fork-tender.
  4. Drain the rutabaga thoroughly and return it to the saucepan.
  5. Add the butter and brown sugar, stirring gently until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
  6. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rutabaga is evenly coated in a glossy glaze.
  7. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm.

Notes

  • Cut the rutabaga into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Drain the cooked rutabaga thoroughly to prevent the glaze from becoming watery.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar to suit your preferred sweetness.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the glaze.
  • Serve alongside roasted chicken, turkey, or other hearty main dishes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan or microwave.
