Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium turnips (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled
1 small butternut squash, peeled and seeded
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 small red onion, halved and sliced
2 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder (see Tip)

Steps:

  • Makes: 6 servings, about 3/4 cup each
  • Active Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 450°F.
  • Slice turnips and squash crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Cut each slice into 3/4-inch-wide strips or "sticks." Toss with oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl until well coated. Divide between 2 large rimmed baking sheets and spread into an even layer. (Set the bowl aside.)
  • Roast the turnips and squash for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer back to the bowl. Gently stir in onion, molasses and five-spice powder to combine. Return the vegetables to the baking sheets; roast, stirring once halfway through and rotating the pans top to bottom and front to back, until tender, 15 to 20 minutes more.
