Ingredients
- 2 large rutabaga
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the rutabagas and cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, melted butter, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Stir until well blended.
Step 4
Add the rutabaga cubes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the maple syrup mixture.
Step 5
Spread the coated rutabaga cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Roast the rutabaga in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the cubes are tender and caramelized on the edges.
Step 7
For extra flavor, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the rutabaga during the last 5 minutes of baking.
Step 8
Remove the rutabaga from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy your Maple Glazed Rutabaga as a side dish to complement any meal!
