🍯✨ Roasted Turnip Rounds with Honey & Cranberries – A Sweet & Savory Delight!
Looking for a cozy, flavorful side dish that’s both healthy and irresistible? These Roasted Turnip Rounds with Honey & Cranberries are your new go-to! Imagine golden, caramelized turnips kissed with honey, warmed spices, and dotted with juicy, tart cranberries—perfection on a plate.
🛒 Ingredients:
- 4 medium turnips, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
👩🍳 Directions:
1. Preheat & Prep:
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This little trick keeps your turnips from sticking and ensures even roasting.
2. Season the Turnips:
In a large bowl, toss your turnip rounds with olive oil, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Make sure every slice is coated in this sweet-and-spicy magic. The aroma alone will make your kitchen feel like fall in a basket! 🍂
3. Roast to Golden Perfection:
Lay the seasoned rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, then flip each slice to brown the other side. Continue roasting for another 10–15 minutes, until the turnips are tender and golden. Can you see those crispy edges yet? 😍
4. Add the Cranberries:
During the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the dried cranberries over the turnips. They’ll warm up, plump slightly, and add a pop of tart sweetness that pairs beautifully with the honeyed rounds.
5. Garnish & Serve:
Transfer your roasted rounds to a serving platter and sprinkle with fresh parsley. The green adds a vibrant touch to this sweet-savory dish. Serve immediately and watch your guests fall in love with every bite!
