Ingredients
- 3/4 pound turnips, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3/4 pound carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Put the vegetables in a skillet just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add enough water so that it comes halfway up their sides along with the butter and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then adjust the heat to maintain a simmer. Cover the vegetables with a round of parchment paper just large enough to fit the inside diameter of the pan, or with a lid set ajar. Simmer the vegetables until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the cover and raise the heat to high. Toss the vegetables frequently in the pan, as the liquid evaporates to a shiny smooth glaze. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Reviews
Simple, yet very tasty. I added fresh ground pepper and a dash of nutmeg at the end. The entire dish was devoured completely. Highly recommend.
Taste was wonderful but it never caramelized. However, that was probably my fault as I had too many veggies in the skillet
I replaced the granulated sugar with brown sugar, doubling the amount called for. When it came time to “turn up the heat”, I added another tbsp of brown sugar to the skillet. It was great – carmelized very nicely and the carrots were well cooked.
I’ve never really like turnips growing up, but a friend gave me some from their garden so I decided to give them a try. I added more sugar than the recipe calls for, but all the other ingredients remained the same. Overall, the recipe was very good.
Nice and simple, the carrots did take longer to get soft compared to the turnips, but the flavor was very nice. A great side dish.
this is the first time I have been disappointed in a recipe from food network, turnips were soft, carrots still firm, no added flavor…just bad
Quite easy. Good side.
Decent. I followed recipe and still did not get the glaze. Tasted about the same as if I had just boiled them with a little butter.
My husband couldn’t stop raving about the turnips in this dish. I really haven’t done many recipes using cooked turnips, having grown up eating them raw from the garden. The combination of the carrots and turnips made a colorful and very flavorful side dish. This dish will definitely be repeated at our house.
I am always looking for something to do with turnips, as normally they are the world’s most boring vegetable. This wasn’t bad, although I too had trouble getting them to glaze correctly. Next time I will probably double the sugar.
