Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 rutabaga (also known as a Swede) about 6 inches in diameter
• 2 – 3 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 Tbsp. dried Italian Herb mix
• 2 tsp. Kosher salt
• 1 tsp. sugar

Preparation:

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. (I use a Silpat* to prevent sticking.)

7. Roast in center of the oven until edges brown and rutabaga is tender – 30 to 40 minutes – stirring about halfway through to minimize sticking.
