Notes

  • Feel free to swap in turnips, rutabagas, or red onions for variety.
  • For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd your pan — air circulation is key.
  • Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or maple syrup in the final 10 minutes for a sweet-savory twist.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully in the oven at 375°F for 10 minutes.
