ROASTED RUTABAGA: Tastes Like Potatoes, Low Carb, & So Easy!

We call them Swedes in the uk. I haven't tried it like this but will make it tonight. I just happen to have one in the fridge. I just get my husband to peel and chop it lol. Some times I steam it with carrots and then mash them together with lots of butter. They also give lots of flavour to a beef/lamb stew. Its a really versatile vegetable.

I was very skeptical they would replace potatoes BUT I tired it. I placed in micro for 5 min ,peeled off and it cut super easy. I cubed and fried in a little bacon grease and they were awesome! Some butter would be great too but the bacon gave it a great flavor. cook it like shown in oven or air fryer as well. You can also boil , place in processor add a little butter/ cream and create mashed taters It's my new low carb potato replacement.

Do they cook to a soft texture after cooking ? I tried Jicama but it had a rubbery texture to it, not good

Wow! I must try it. I am on a mission to try new things.

I've never had this veggie before but I am removing nightshade veggies due to arthritis. I'm excited to try it.. thanks for the tutorial

My favorite root veg when mashed with apple and seasoned with butter, salt pepper and cinnamon!

I know it’s more expensive and not as fresh / natural, but for a timesaver, can I do this same thing with the already diced rutabaga in a can?

Trying this in my air fryer tomorrow 🥳

Thank you! This is huge

Can’t wait to try this!

Olive oil does not withstand high heat, definitely use the other suggestions, for example grapeseed oil or avocado oil, or just toss in vegetable broth and place all of parchment paper instead of oiling a sheet (for those wanting to avoid the added fat), they will brown without oil. Other than that, it looks healthy and tasty. I bet they'd be great in the airfryer also.

I've tried cooking a rutabaga 2 different ways. The taste was so strong and not palatable. Could it be that some states get better rutabagas based on where they grow? Mine tasted like dirt smelled.

Well I guess I’ll try this one. I miss potatoes, but I am enjoying the effects of my low card diet, so I am committed. I’ve been roasting radishes and I really like them cooked, not a fan of them raw tho. It’s strange how the taste changes when cooked. I’ve never cooked a rutabaga before, so this will be interesting. 🤔 Thanks for the recipe! 😊

what are the macros for this?

I used turnips for my potato replacement. Does rutabaga taste like turnip???

Have microwave first and it did make a difference .🎃

Idk I’m skeptical. Might have to try it. I tried turnips once like this and never again. Wasn’t a fan. It’s like eating low carb noodles and expecting them to taste like the real thing. Not gonna happen but I will try anything once. Now let’s see if I can find a rutabaga.

I just enjoy vegetables, and this sounds wonderful.

Wonderful recipe Maya thank you so much for your hard work on all of the Recipes you create we love you!

Lawry's seasoning salt's probably a good spice use!

I want to use this to make corned beef hash!

Is this Keto friendly?

How would you cook this for potato salad?

I put the rutabaga in the microwave for 10-12 minutes. The wax melts off and the rutabaga is partially cooked so it is softer and easy to cut. I usually mash it with butter and nutmeg. Would like to try this recipe but would need to reduce the cooking time after doing it in the microwave. Any idea how much time to reduce?

No they don't taste like potatoes to me

Can these be air fried?

Does boiling in baking soda before roasting make them crispier?

SO EXCITED to make!!

Wow! This does look so delicious. Up here in the UP of Michigan we have rutabaga often. I peel it with a vegetable peeler. I always put rutabaga in my boiled dinners…chopped in our pasties…boil it with potatoes (which I used to eat a lot!) and mash them together…and serve it mashed with butter as a side dish. I'm looking forward to roasting it this way! Thanks.

Love to see you bake 🙂 you are one of my favorite channels! Let’s keep sharing to each other 😋😁

Although I'm not into potatoes that much, I will give this a try as it did look perty good.

Wonder how these would taste in potato salad

It's a starchy vegetable so will it spike blood glucose?

Can you do a Rutabaga mash? Rutabaga au grautin?

I've been making those every week for the past two years. They are good, but, to me, they taste a lot different to potatoes. The texture is similar to potatoes, although they are a bit more fibrous than potatoes.

Does it have a vegetable texture like radishes ?

Looks yummy 🤤 I have a rutabaga in my refrigerator never had it hope it be worth it

Microwaving for 5 minutes softens the skin. Easy P easy!
