Roasted Turnips with Carrots and Leeks
I received Potluck by Kim Thomas
There are so many tasty winter vegetables! Turnips are slightly sweet and tangy. Leeks taste like a very mild and sweet onion. And beets and brussell sprouts are delicious when roasted. Even though I enjoy winter veggies, I still occasionally forget about them:
I completely forgot about my turnips. I went outside at twilight in November and quickly took some pictures of the garden. Several days later I was reviewing the pictures and saw my poor neglected turnips. I immediately harvested and put them in cold storage so we could enjoy them through out the winter.
Ingredients:
6 cups chopped turnips
3 carrots, chopped
1 leak, thinly sliced
1/2 cup apple juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon rosemary
Directions:
Place the turnips, carrots, and leek in an oven safe baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix applesauce, honey, and spices. Pour over the vegetables and toss.
Bake at 425 degrees, tossing occasionally, for 40 minutes or until the vegetables are fork tender.

I almost never eat turnips, I'm going to have to now, great recipe! Have a good weekend from Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters
Your Turnip recipe looks really good. We are enjoying winter turnips from our garden.I would like to invite you to my Full Plate Thursday. Thank you for sharing and you have a great week end!
This looks delicious. I never would have thought to add rosemary to the mix. I sometimes forget winter veggies too. When winter comes, I tend to want to eat lots of meat and carbs.
Turnips are a tough one for me. Thanks for the great idea.
Couldnt agree more with that, very attractive article
Wow, this looks very healthy!
I never thought to roast turnips- great idea, Alea! I, too, have a few turnips still in the garden, but they do OK there.
