Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds rutabagas, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

3/4 teaspoon coarse salt

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine rutabagas, oil, maple syrup, salt, and cayenne; toss until well combined. Spread rutabagas in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast, tossing occasionally, until rutabagas are tender and dark golden, about 40 minutes.
