What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Turnips and Roasted Sweet Potatoes! Here’s a little twist on adding turnips to your menu. When seasoned and mixed with other root vegetables, like sweet potatoes, the somewhat bland flavor of the turnip becomes robust and savory. You’ll find yourself serving them more often.
TURNIPS & ROASTED SWEET POTATOES
Ingredients:
3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
4 medium turnips, peeled and cut into chunks
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425Β°. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well until vegetables are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for one hour. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray. Spread vegetables into single layer. Avoid contact. Bake about 40 minutes or until tender and slightly browned.
Serving suggestion: For a creamy dip, mix Greek yogurt with fresh onion chives. It will seem like a mild onion dip, but with a much lighter flavor.
Sounds great! I eat sweet potatoes very seldom but it taste fine most of the time

Turnips are never on my radar to cook with. I’m not sure why, but maybe it’s time to give them a go.
