Ingredients

• 500 grams Swede (rutabaga)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 500 milliliters Water (for steaming)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the swede (rutabaga) and cut it into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Fill a pot with 500 milliliters of water and place a steamer basket inside. Ensure the water does not touch the bottom of the basket.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer.

Step 4

Place the swede cubes into the steamer basket, cover the pot with a lid, and steam for 15-20 minutes or until the cubes are fork-tender.

Step 5

While the swede is steaming, finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside.

Step 6

Once the swede is tender, transfer it to a bowl. Add the butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper while the swede is still warm. Toss gently until evenly coated and the butter has melted.

Step 7

Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the swede and give it one final toss.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as part of your keto-friendly meal.
