Equipment

Ingredients

1 rutabaga cut into spears
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine rutabaga spears with oil and spices, and toss until evenly coated.
Lay rutabaga spears onto a baking sheet, leaving space between
Bake for 30 minutes, flipping the rutabaga spears halfway through; they should be cooked through and crisped on the outside

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge. To reheat, I would recommend popping them in the toaster oven or regular oven so they can crisp up again.

Freezing Instructions: You can freeze them for up to 6 months. I would recommend blanching them before freezing them. Then you can cook them straight from frozen either by roasting them or boiling them.

Make Ahead Tips: You can wash, peel and cut the rutabaga vegetable up to 2 days in advance. Store it in the fridge in some water until you're ready to use. Then just drain and dab with a paper towel until dry.
