Ingredients

3 turnips, peeled and cubed

3 russet potatoes, scrubbed and cubed

2 cloves garlic, chopped

4 Tbsp (60mL) olive oil

1 tsp (2g) dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*)

Directions

Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss turnips, potatoes and garlic with olive oil until coated and season with rosemary, salt and pepper. Scatter vegetables in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake about 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until browned yet tender inside. Turn the vegetables occasionally with a spatula or by shaking the pan.

* Allergy notes: People following a corn-free diet should avoid iodized salt since it contains dextrose, which should be avoided by those allergic to corn.
