Make and share this Maple Glazed Rutabaga recipe from Food.com.

Provided by dicentra

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons butter, melted
7 cups cubed peeled rutabagas, 1/2 inch cubes (about 2 medium)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Combine syrup and butter in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add rutabaga, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
  • Spread rutabaga mixture on a jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray.
  • Bake at 425° for 35 minutes or until rutabaga is tender, stirring occasionally.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rutabagas: Look for rutabagas that are firm, smooth, and have no blemishes. Avoid any that are soft, wrinkled, or have cracks.
  • Peel and cut the rutabagas evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the rutabagas are not peeled and cut evenly, some pieces may be overcooked while others are still undercooked.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This will help prevent the rutabagas from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the rutabagas will not cook evenly. Cook the rutabagas in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the rutabagas until they are tender: The rutabagas should be tender when pierced with a fork. If they are not tender, continue cooking them until they are.
  • Make the glaze ahead of time: The glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you are ready to cook the rutabagas.
  • Serve the rutabagas immediately: The rutabagas are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to store them, you can keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Glazed rutabagas and apricots is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The rutabagas are tender and flavorful, and the apricots add a touch of sweetness and tartness. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
