How to Make Roast Rutabaga

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel the rutabaga and cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the rutabaga cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil until evenly coated.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional). Toss to combine.
  5. Spread the rutabaga in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Roast for 25-30 minutes, then stir gently to ensure even browning.
  7. Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, or until the rutabaga is tender and the edges are golden brown. Internal temperature should reach 200°F (93°C).
