Caramelized Turnips

Caramelized Turnips balance earthy bite with a glossy, sweet-savory finish. Tender simmered turnips are glazed with butter and a touch of sugar, picking up subtle bouillon richness and a golden, sticky sheen. Serve as a warm side for roasted meats or weeknight dinners when you want a simple vegetable with a hint of sweetness.

Caramelized Turnips
  1. 1

    Place the turnips, water, and bouillon in a large skillet over medium heat; simmer until the water has evaporated and the turnips are tender, about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir the butter into the turnips until melted, then sprinkle with the sugar. Gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until the butter and sugar form a brown, sticky coating on the turnips, about 10 minutes. Serve hot.
