Brown-Buttered ‘Baga

Brown-Buttered ‘Baga

Serves ~4, depending on the size of the rutabaga.

1 large Red Dog rutabaga
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Heat the oven to 450°F. Peel the rutabaga with a vegetable peeler and cut into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch cubes.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, until the butter foams then browns into a nutty, toasty-smelling liquid.

Toss the rutabaga with the browned butter and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the rutabaga to a large baking sheet and spread into a single layer. Roast for 25 to 40 minutes or until browned and tender. Remove from the baking sheet and toss with lemon juice and parsley.
