Sweet Potato And Turnip Bake Recipe

1 medium sweet potato
1 medium turnip
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1/4 cup finely diced flat leaf parsley
kosher salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Peel the sweet potato and turnip and dice them both into 1 inch cubes.

Put a steamer basket in a large pot, fill with just enough water to come up to the bottom of the steamer, and set the veggies in the steamer. Cover the pot, bring water to a boil, and allow the veggies to steam until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Watch the water to make sure it doesn't boil dry; add more hot water to pot if necessary.

In a skillet, add the olive oil and onion, place over medium heat and cook until onion softens; set aside.

When the sweet potatoes and turnips are tender, remove from the pot and place in a large bowl. Smash together with a potato masher or pastry cutter or a large fork. Add the onion and olive oil from the skillet along with the fresh parsley and stir together to combine well, taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Spoon the mixture into a broiler-safe dish and top with shredded Parmesan cheese. Place under broiler and heat just until cheese melts and slightly browns, about 2 minutes. Remove and serve hot.

Will serve 2 to 4.
