Ingredients
- 2 large (about 2 pounds total) rutabaga
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Peel the rutabaga using a vegetable peeler, then cut it into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Transfer the cubed rutabaga to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Toss the rutabaga cubes in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned rutabaga in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that the pieces are not overcrowded. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping the rutabaga pieces halfway through, until they are golden brown and fork-tender.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the rutabaga cool for a few minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Serve the roasted rutabaga warm as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite main course.
