Begin by peeling and dicing the rutabagas and turnips into 1-inch cubes. Don’t forget to dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic.

In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Let it heat until it shimmers, but make sure it doesn’t smoke.

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent. Then, add the minced garlic for the last minute, stirring until fragrant.

Stir in the diced rutabagas and turnips, seasoning with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme. Cook for approximately 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender.

Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Enjoy warm, either solo or alongside your favorite protein!
