Balsamic Turnips

Ingredients:

• 2 large turnips
• 1 tbsp.  olive oil
• 1 tbsp.  balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• chopped parsley or cilantro (optional)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 450F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray or olive oil.  Peel turnips with vegetable peeler, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Whisk together olive oil balsamic vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper.
• Put turnips in a bowl and toss with the balsamic mixture, turning them over a few times so they're well-coated with the oil and vinegar. Roast turnips 25 minutes; then remove the pan and turn each one over so a different side is touching the pan.  Roast about 10 minutes more, until turnips are softened and lightly browned. Enjoy!
