Roasted Turnips with Honey & Thyme
Roasted turnips with honey and thyme are an easy way to turn a humble vegetable into a standout side. Oven roasting brings out natural sweetness, while honey and thyme add a fragrant, savoury balance.
They pair beautifully with roast chicken, lamb, or festive mains, and are just as good alongside hearty vegetarian dishes.
