Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large Bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients

  • 1 large rutabaga about 2-2.5 pounds or 900-1134 grams, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter 56 grams, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp sea salt 5 grams
  • ½ tsp black pepper 1 gram
  • ½ tsp paprika 1 gram
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley 8 grams, chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves 1 gram

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss the rutabaga chunks with the melted butter, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  • Add the minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the rutabaga chunks are evenly seasoned.
  • Spread the rutabaga in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the chunks are fork-tender and golden brown. Halfway through the cooking time, stir the rutabaga chunks to ensure they brown on all sides.
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and thyme. Toss gently to combine.
  • Serve the Keto Garlic Butter Rutabaga Chunks warm as a delightful keto-friendly side dish.

Notes

To ensure even cooking, try to cut the rutabaga chunks into uniform sizes.
Feel free to adjust the garlic quantity to suit your taste preferences.
For an additional flavor boost, consider adding grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
