Today I was part of the best upsell I’ve ever witnessed at a farmers market. Seriously the folks at Cargile Farms in Mexia, TX (bonus points if you know to pronounce that meh-hee-ya) know what they are doing.
I walked away with dill, cilantro, arugula, carrots, lettuce, spinach, another type of lettuce, chow chow, jalapeño relish and a poop ton of turnips for only $40!
Now, there is a reason that turnips are prevalent this time of year. FULL of immune boosting vitamin C and fiber during a time when fresh veggies weren’t, traditionally, as readily available. So, while this is the perfect veggie….
Aside from saving the greens and cooking them up I have NO FREAKING CLUE about what to do with turnips. So I did what any self-respecting woman would do and googled about 40 recipes until I found one 3 that I had some of the ingredients for and 8 combined them.
And this is my contribution to the internet and hopefully a saving grace for another person who got over excited at the farmers market and ended up with a ton of turnips.
Bonus facts about turnips: full of fiber and vitamin C (can’t beat that in cold season)
So without further ado… ROASTED TURNIPS
1) Start with some turnips.
2) Preheat oven to 425 F
3) turnips - Peel ‘em, dice ‘em and put ‘em in a bowl.
4) add oil of choice (we used bacon drippings and I swear you should do nothing less), onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper
5) spread them on a baking sheet
6) cook 30 min or until fork tender
7) eat!
Let me know if you liked the recipe!
