What is Rutabaga?
Rutabagas are also called swedes and they are a cross between a turnip and a cabbage, even the leaves are edible! This veggie is often confused with a turnip but they’re usually bigger and have a yellow-ish skin. The taste is very similar to a turnip but a little bit stronger and you could replace turnips in almost any recipe with rutabaga. It can be enjoyed either raw (they’re great added to coleslaw) or cooked as in this recipe.
Can You Roast Rutabaga?
Sure you can! Most root vegetables can be roasted, just be sure to cut all the pieces uniformly so they cook at the same rate.
