Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 16 ounces turnips
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 2 to 3 cloves garlic
- Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Trim ends from turnips, wash, and cut into quarters or bite-size chunks. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread onto a rimmed baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway if desired.
- While the turnips roast, make the gremolata. Place the chopped chives on a cutting board and grate or chop the garlic into them. Zest the lemon over the chives. Slide everything together into a pile and chop until the garlic is in small bits and everything is well blended. (You'll notice it reduce in volume.)
- When the turnips are done and fork-tender, plate and serve with gremolata over the top.
