Ingredients

• 3 medium Carrots
• 2 medium Turnips
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and turnips, then cut them into evenly sized matchsticks or small cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the carrots and turnips to the skillet. Toss them to coat evenly in the oil.

Step 5

Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 7

Sprinkle in the fresh thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Pour in the water, reduce the heat to low, and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the vegetables steam for about 8–10 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy.

Step 9

Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-high, and stir in the butter. Continue cooking for 2–3 minutes to allow the water to evaporate and the vegetables to caramelize slightly.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish to complement any main course.
