Ingredients
- 4 medium turnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Peel and chop the turnips into 1/2-inch cubes. Place them in a large bowl.
Step 3
Drizzle the turnips with olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Spread the turnips on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly golden.
Step 5
While the turnips are roasting, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the heavy cream to the melted butter, stirring occasionally until well combined and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the cheddar cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 8
Once the turnips are roasted, transfer them into a casserole dish and pour the cheese sauce over them.
Step 9
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
Step 10
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and slightly browned.
Step 11
Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low-carb cheesy turnips!
