• 5-10 small to medium turnips, peeled

• 3 garlic clove, minced

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese

• chopped fresh chives

• salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Place peeled turnips in a pot of salted water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook 20 to 30 minutes or until turnips can be pierced easily with a paring knife. Drain. Let cool slightly.

6. Carefully and quickly flip each turnip over. Repeat with the remaining olive oil and garlic combination and cheese.

7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Flip each turnip and bake an additional 15 minutes.
