Roasted Turnips

Ingredients
1 ¹⁄₂ pounds turnips, trimmed, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Salt and pepper

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 500*F. 

2. In a medium bowl, toss the turnips with the butter and season them generously with salt and pepper. Spread the turnips evenly onto a roasting pan with room between the pieces. Roast, 25-30 minutes, or until the turnips are tender and brown in spots.  Toss halfway through cooking for even browning. 

Comments
This recipe is from Cookthink.  I was hoping that the turnips would crisp up like potatoes do when roasted, but they remained pretty soft.  The butter did add a nice sweetness to the turnips and they were tasty, but I don’t think I’ll be using this preparation in the future unless I can figure out how to get them to crisp up a bit – maybe pan frying would be more effective?
