Brown Butter Roasted Hakurei Turnips

time 30 minutes  servings 4

  • 1 bunch turnips
  • 6 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 Tablespoon coarse salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • shredded parmesan cheese (optional)
  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. wash and prep Turnips. I like to cut them in quarters so they roast evenly.
  3. Mix turnip pieces with olive oil and salt. Roast in oven for 15-20 minutes till tender.
  4. Meanwhile, brown butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Browning butter is a glorious act. The aroma will knock you to your knees. It’s nutty and sweet. Be careful not to go too far or else you’ll have burnt butter which does not taste good.
  5. Once butter is nice and browned, add turnips and hear the sizzle. Feel free to add a little more salt here, but it’s not necessary. Allow turnips to get nice and crispy and browned, about 5 minutes.The butter will have soaked into the veggies so nothing should be soggy.
  6. remove from heat toss with parmesan and eat!
