Ingredients
1.5 lb rutabaga (about 3 small rutabaga)
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp maple syrup (use Real, Local Maple Syrup for best results)
salt
1 tsp dried thyme
black pepper
1 tbsp fresh thyme
Preparation
Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC/390ºF. Place a roasting tin the oven to heat up.
Peel the rutabaga and cut them into large chunks.
Place the rutabaga in a bowl and dress with the olive oil, maple syrup and dried thyme.
Add in a good sprinkle of salt and pepper and toss to combine well.
Spoon the rutabaga into the roasting tin, reserving any dressing that has pooled at the bottom of the bowl.
Roast in the oven, for 25 minutes, then drizzle over the reserved dressing and cook for a further 15-20 minutes until crisp and golden.
Serve with a sprinkling of fresh thyme (Or chives works well too!)
