INGREDIENTS
1/2 medium head of garlic
1 large rutabaga, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces

Salt
Ground black pepper
PREPARATION
- Heat oven to 375°F.

- Place rutabaga and garlic into a roasting pan large enough to hold without crowding. Toss with oil, onion, rosemary or thyme, and salt to taste.
- Roast in the oven, stirring or shaking vegetables every 15 minutes, for 30 minutes, before adding garlic.
- Raise heat to 425°F and continue roasting until tender and evenly browned, 15–20 minutes.
- Sprinkle with pepper to taste, and serve hot or at room temperature.
Serves 2. Prep time, 10 minutes; cook time, 50 minutes.
