Roasted Japanese Turnips with Honey
- 4 bunches (about 20 small) golf-ball-size Japanese-style turnips, stems trimmed to 1/4 inch, sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon expeller-pressed vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Pinch of cayenne
- In a medium bowl, toss the turnips with 1 tablespoon oil, the salt, and some pepper.
- Heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
- When it is quite hot, coat the pan with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and add the turnips.
- Reduce the heat to medium and toss the turnips.
- Saute, shaking the pan frequently, until the turnips are starting to turn golden brown, especially on the cut sides, and are almost tender but still slightly firm, 8 to 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the honey and cayenne with 1 tablespoon water.
- Add this to the turnips and cook, tossing for another few minutes, until the turnips are tender.
