Glazed Carrots and Turnips

I have been seeing lots of recipes using turnips in posts from my Beachbody friends, so I decided to try them.  This was the first time I cooked turnips.  I plan to experiment with many new turnip recipes in the weeks to come. 

Recipe adapted from Food Network

Ingredients:

1 turnip peeled and sliced into fries

1 cup baby carrots halved lengthwise

2 teaspoons extra virgin coconut oil

1 packet stevia or ½ teaspoon sugar

Directions:

1. Add turnips and carrots to a large saucepan in a single layer.  Add coconut oil and sprinkle stevia over the vegetables.
2. Fill with water halfway up the vegetables.
3. Bring to a boil. 
4. Cover ¾ with a lid.  Reduce heat and simmer stirring occasionally for 8-10 minutes until liquid reduces.
5. Remove the cover and increase to high heat to create a shiny smooth glaze stirring frequently.
6. Transfer vegetables to a serving dish.
7. Enjoy!
