ROASTED TURNIPS AND WINTER SQUASH WITH AGAVE GLAZE



Roasted Turnips and Winter Squash With Agave Glaze image

Traditionally, this dish, from the Great Plains, would include timpsula, the wild turnip that grows in patches across the region. (Old Lakota harvesting stories tell of how the timpsula point the forager from one plant to the next.) In Lakota homes, the turnips are often braided and dried for use throughout the winter. Unless you live in the region, fresh timpsula is difficult to come by, as it's not sold commercially. It's also milder and slightly denser than the garden turnips we've substituted in this traditional pairing. The agave glaze adds a touch of sweetness to the vegetables, and the toasted sunflower seeds add crunch. Serve this with bison pot roast with hominy or spooned over wild rice for a comforting vegetarian meal.

2 pounds turnips, trimmed if needed, then cut into 1-inch chunks
