I saw this recipe for roasted potatoes on Pinterest and immediately wanted to try it with a different root vegetable. Turnips are much lower in both calories and carbohydrates (see a comparison here) so I figured I'd give it a shot. This was so easy to make and very tasty. I will definitely be making this one again.

PARMESAN CRUSTED ROASTED TURNIPS
Serves about 4 as a side

INGREDIENTS

• About 2 lbs turnips, peeled and cut into uniform-sized chunks
• 2 Tbs olive oil (or other fat of choice)
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp pimienton (Spanish smoked paprika) or regular sweet paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper (I used Penzeys 4/S as the salt)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Use parchment paper, NOT foil, as melted cheese tends to stick to foil.
2. Combine the cheese, paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
3. In a large bowl, toss the turnips with the olive oil. Dump the cheese mixture over the turnips chunks and toss to coat well.
4. Spread the turnip chunks on the baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes. Flip them over and roast 5 minutes more. Serve immediately.
