HONEY BUTTER TURNIPS

I will not be making this recipe as it has too much sugar for me. It is, however, from a diabetic recipe magazine so I will post it for those who might like to try it. When combined with a lean protein item, the protein/carb ratio will be okay. I am just not a meat-eater.

1 lb turnips, peeled or scrubbed and cut into 1 1/4-inch pieces
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
snipped fresh thyme for garnish

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Heat a 15x10-inch baking pan in oven for 5 minutes.

Spread the turnips in the hot pan. Drizzle with the honey, butter, and salt.

Roast turnips at 400 degrees for 35 minutes or until tender, stirring once during that time.

Transfer turnips to a serving dish and sprinkle with the pepper and thyme.
