ROASTED TURNIPS

fresh turnips, stems and greens removed
olive oil
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel turnips with vegetable peeler and slice off stem end. Cut turnips into smallish chunks. Line a baking sheet with foil (for easier clean-up) and spread turnip chunks out evenly. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast in oven for 40-45 minutes, until they begin to brown. Turn turnips over with a spatula after the first 20 minutes to brown on other side. Serve warm or at room temperature.
