Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 small turnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
5 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
2 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
2 teaspoons white sugar
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Spread the turnips, carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes in a single layer into the bottom of a large skillet. Pour enough water over the vegetables to cover, but not completely submerge; add the sugar and balsamic vinegar. Place the skillet over medium-high heat; bring the liquid to a boil. Cook and stir until the liquid is evaporated and the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to serve.
