Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place carrot and turnip cubes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; steam dry 1 to 2 minutes. (25 minutes)

03

Step

Return carrot and turnip cubes to the pot. Add flour, ¼ cup sugar, butter, and salt; mash well. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Whisk milk and eggs together in a bowl; stir into mashed carrot-turnip mixture until combined. Transfer to the prepared dish. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle over casserole. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is slightly firmed and top has begun to turn golden brown, about 45 minutes. (45 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter.
Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar topping for extra warmth.
This casserole can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. Just cover it tightly and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
