I grow rutabagas in my garden every year. A perfect cold weather crop, they overwinter beautifully, their flavor becomes sweeter with the frost, and they store really well.
Rutabagas, also known as swedes, a very healthy vegetable known for their high antioxidant content. They’re also relatively low in calories, high in fiber, and are a rich source of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and vitamins C and E.
They’re eaten all around the world in a variety of ways: in soups, stews, boiled, mashed, pureed, and roasted.
Today we’re going to make roasted rutabaga. With honey or maple syrup, Dijon mustard, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, garlic, onion, and rosemary, these oven roasted rutabagas are packed with flavor and make a wonderfully delicious and healthy side dish!
These honey roasted rutabagas, or maple roasted rutabagas (depending on which you choose), pair perfectly with your choice of meat or poultry and are delicious any time of the year!
