Found the original recipe on a product site. Made a few changes and it ended up pretty darn good. I grew up eating pureed rutabaga, but a few years ago discovered the joy of roasting it. Roasting rutabaga concentrates and highlights it's natural sweetness. In this recipe I season the rutabaga which also highlights the sweetness. I also add a tablespoon of sugar, which actually has little effect on the sweetness but encourages browning.
Ingredients:
1 rutabaga
3 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 tablespoon basil
1/4 tablespoon rosemary
1/4 tablespoon thyme
1/8 tablespoon oregano
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Peel rutabaga and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
3. Place rutabaga cubes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
4. Cover bowl with a plate and shake to coat rutabaga with oil.(You may need a bit more oil.).
5. Sprinkle rutabaga with remaining ingredients and shake again distribute.
6. Transfer rutabaga to a parchment-lined or non-stick baking sheet.
7. Roast in center of the oven until edges brown and rutabaga is tender - 40 to 50 minutes - stirring about halfway through to minimize sticking. (Note: It may take longer depending on the size of the rutabaga. You know they are ready when you can stick a fork all the way in with little resistance.).
