I’ll bet you’ve never tried a rutabaga, and you’re just guessing you’re not going to like them. Well, everyone who tries these likes them.
Yield: 6 servings, each with 12 grams of carbohydrates and 4 grams of fiber, for a total of 8 grams of usable carbs and 2 grams of protein.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 pounds rutabaga
- 3 to 4 tablespoons butter
INSTRUCTIONS
- Peel your rutabaga and cut it into strips the size of big steak fries, using a good, big, heavy knife with a sharp blade.
- Steam the “fries” over boiling water in a pan with a tight lid until they’re easily pierced with a fork but not mushy (about 10 to 15 minutes). You want them still to be al dente.
- Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, and fry the strips of rutabaga until they’re browned on all sides. Salt and serve.
