Ingredients

• 1 pound turnips
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 6 leaves fresh sage leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the turnips and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sage leaves to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly crisp. Remove the sage leaves and set them aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 4

Add the turnip cubes to the skillet with the melted butter. Stir to coat the turnips in butter.

Step 5

Season the turnips with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 6

Add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the turnips start to soften.

Step 7

Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, allowing the water to evaporate and the turnips to caramelize slightly.

Step 8

Drizzle the maple syrup over the turnips and stir to evenly coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the turnips are glazed and golden.

Step 9

Transfer the glazed turnips to a serving dish and garnish with the crisped sage leaves.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
