Today we are preparing a delicious and healthy turnip root recipe. One of the easiest ways to cook turnip root is to roast it in the oven. I like to roast a variety of root vegetables together along with onion and garlic. Roasted turnips make a terrific side dish, or even as a salad topping as in this recipe.
Ingredients for this Turnip Root Recipe
TURNIP ROOTS

SEASONINGS as desired
2 Tbsp OLIVE OIL
Roasted Turnip Root Recipe
- Wash and clean the turnip roots.
- Cut turnip roots into relatively uniform sizes about half the size of your thumb.
- Place the chopped turnip root into a bowl along with any other root veggies you wish to add. I’ll sometimes add potato, carrot, or rutabaga, and I almost always add some chopped onion or garlic to roast along with the turnip, although you can roast the turnips all by themselves if you prefer.
- Add enough olive oil to the bowl to coat the veggies when tossed together.
- Season to taste. In the video I add Black Pepper, Garlic Salt, Cayenne Pepper, Chili Powder, Italian Seasoning, but use whatever seasonings you’re in the mood for; smoked paprika is a favorite of mine, and sometimes I’ll use a curry mix seasoning. Sometimes I’ll roast the veggies with only salt and pepper to keep the dish simple.
- Toss the veggies so that everything is coated in oil and seasoning, then spread the veggies out into a single layer on a baking sheet. Compare prices for a baking sheet on Amazon.
- Place in an oven preheated to 400˚F and roast until the veggies have colored up and can be pierced easily with a fork. The cooking time might be between 30-45 minutes depending on the size of your veggies. Once during this cooking time, you can stir the veggies and re-spread them out into a single layer.
Roasted turnips make a great side dish for almost any meal, or you can simply top them on a salad.
