Garlic Smashed Turnips

Ingredients

12 small turnips, peeled

¾ cup grated vegan parmesan

¼ cup vegan butter

3 garlic clove, minced

¼ tsp salt

Black pepper

Instructions

Boil peeled turnips for 20-30 minutes or until fork tender. Preheat the oven to 375F.

Place the boiled turnips on a kitchen towel and place another towel on top.

Gently smash each turnip until they are about ½ inch thick. Allow to drain and cool between the towels for 15 minutes.

Heat a small pot on medium and add garlic, salt and pepper.

Turn off the heat and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. Line a baking sheet and brush each turnip with a little of the butter mixture.

Sprinkle with grated parmesan, press and quickly flip. Repeat on the other side.

Bake for 20 minutes, flip and bake another 15 - 20 minutes until golden brown.

Serve hot with fresh herbs or nasturtium pesto.
