Roasted Sliced Rutabaga
Move over potatoes, there is a new root in town! Rutabagas are a great alternative to white potatoes since they’re higher in fiber and lower in carbs. They also contain a special prebiotic fiber that feeds good bacteria in the gut, which helps digestion and strengthens the immune system.
Ingredients
- 1 lb rutabaga
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 T water
- 2 T olive oil
- pepper
- salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Prepare the rutabagas:
- Rinse and dry the rutabagas
- Trim off the top and bottom
- Use a pairing knife or peeler to remove the skin
- Slice rutabagas to desired thickness and arrange on baking sheet
- Add slices of onion
- Sprinkle the slices with water and oil, salt and pepper
- Bake until fork tender, approx. 35-45 mins.
