Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, combine the chopped turnip, sliced carrots, olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, and salt. Toss thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Spread the vegetable mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring not to overcrowd. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir the vegetables gently, and return to the oven. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Continue roasting until the turnips and carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, approximately 15 minutes more. (15 minutes)

06

Step

Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving

For enhanced flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a sprig of fresh thyme to the vegetables before roasting.
To achieve optimal caramelization, ensure the vegetables are spaced evenly on the baking sheet. Overcrowding will result in steaming rather than roasting.
Adjust the roasting time based on the size of your vegetable pieces and the desired level of tenderness.
