If you’ve been following this blog for any length of time, you may have noticed that I have a particular fondness for rutabaga. Also known as Swedish turnip or yellow turnip, the rutabaga is a mild-flavoured non-starchy alternative to potatoes. It’s also an inexpensive alternative to yam. Basically any way that you can cook a potato, you can cook a rutabaga. I also enjoy munching on them raw (like carrots) either plain, or dipped in hummus. Below is a quick and easy recipe to add this dish to any meal.

Time Required: 20 mins

1 large or 2 medium rutabagas*
