Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a deep skillet, combine the cubed turnips and vegetable broth. (2 minutes)

02

Step
15 mins

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the liquid has evaporated and the turnips are fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (Approximately 15 minutes)

03

Step
1 mins

Once the liquid is gone, add the butter to the skillet and stir until melted, coating the turnips evenly. (1 minute)

04

Step
10 mins

Sprinkle the sugar over the turnips. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar has caramelized and the turnips are beautifully glazed. Be patient, as this process takes time. (Approximately 10 minutes)

05

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy!

For an even deeper flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt while the turnips are caramelizing. This will enhance the sweetness and create a delightful contrast.
Feel free to experiment with different types of sugar, such as brown sugar or coconut sugar, for a unique twist on the flavor profile.
If the turnips start to stick or burn during the caramelization process, add a small amount of water or vegetable broth to deglaze the pan.

    Make sure to keep a close eye on the turnips while they're caramelizing. They can burn quickly if you're not careful.

    I added a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end for a tangy twist. It was a hit!
