Roasted Rutabaga

Ingredients

• 2 pounds rutabaga – peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper – freshly ground

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and position a rack in the upper-middle of the oven.
2. Peel the rutabaga and cut it into 1-inch cubes so they roast evenly.
3. In a large bowl, toss the rutabaga with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
4. Spread the cubes on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer with space between pieces.
5. Roast for 20–25 minutes, then flip the pieces with a spatula and rotate the pan.
6. Continue roasting for 15–20 minutes, until the rutabaga is deeply golden on the edges and tender when pierced with a knife.
7. Serve hot.
