How to Make Slow Roasted Balsamic Turnips

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and chop turnips into 1-inch cubes. (Approximately 2 pounds of turnips)
  3. In a large bowl, toss turnips with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Spread turnips in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons butter. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Remove turnips from oven and pour balsamic glaze over them, tossing gently to coat.
  8. Return to oven and roast for another 70 minutes, or until turnips are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
  9. Serve immediately alongside your favorite roasted meats or poultry.
