If you're craving roast potatoes on your low carb diet, this dish is a fantastic alternative! They go ever so slightly sweet, and any leftovers are tasty too! With this recipe I've paired them with delicious sea salt flakes and fresh thyme!

A medium turnip (about 4.5 oz) contains just under 6g net carbs. So you might want to keep an eye on portion control with this recipe! Oh, and turnips are a great source of fiber, vitamins K, A, C, E, B1, B3, B5, B6, B2 and folate (one of the B vitamins), as well as minerals like manganese, potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium and copper!
