-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 medium rutabagas -- peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons canola oil

Salt

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons butter -- melted

Pinch nutmeg

 

Rutabagas are one of those unfortunate vegetables that suffer a bad reputation

because they are often kept until they are old and bitter. Yes, they do store

well. But they taste so much better when eaten soon after they are harvested. So

if you think you do not like rutabagas, try this recipe in the fall with a

freshly harvested root and you may find yourself appreciating this mild-flavored

turnip.

 

Preheat the oven to 450F. Lightly oil a large shallow roasting or half sheet

pan.

 

In a large bowl, combine the rutabagas, oil, and salt to taste. Toss to coat.

Arrange in a single laver in the pan.

 

Roast for about 25 Minutes, until the rutabagas are tender, stirring or shaking

the pan occasionally for even cooking.

 

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, butter, and nutmeg. Pour

over the rutabagas. Roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the rutabagas are

well browned and tender.

 

Serve hot.

 

Maple-Glazed Turnips: in late spring or early summer, when turnips are freshly

harvested, substitute 6 to 8 medium-size turnips for the rutabagas. Reduce the

roasting time to 15 minutes in step 3.
