Parmesan Crusted Smashed Turnips

Parmesan Crusted Smashed Turnips
Instructions: 
12
small to medium turnips peeled
Salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic minced
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese or as needed
Chopped fresh chives

Ingredients: 
  • Place peeled turnips in a pot of salted water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook 20 to 30 minutes or until turnips can be pierced easily with a paring knife. Drain. Let cool slightly.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place the turnips on a clean kitchen towel or double layer of paper towels. Gently press each one down until it's approximately 1/2-inch high. Let them drain for 15 minutes then carefully flip them over onto a dry section of the towel or onto fresh paper towels so the other side drains and dries a bit
  • Combine garlic, olive oil and salt and black pepper, to taste in a small bowl.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil. Place the flattened turnips on the lined baking sheet. Brush each turnip with a little of the olive oil and garlic combination. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each turnip, gently pressing it down.
  • Carefully and quickly flip each turnip over. Repeat with the remaining olive oil and garlic combination and cheese.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Flip each turnip and bake an additional 15 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh chives and serve.
