Ingredients
2 pounds rutabagas
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan, divided
1/3 cup vegetable stock, low sodium
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Peel and slice the rutabagas crosswise into rounds, about 1/8-inch thick
Place the oil in a large bowl, and stir in half of the parmesan, garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and thoroughly combine
Layer the rutabaga slices into sideway stacks in the baking dish. They should be tight enough that the slices stay upright.
Pour over the vegetable stock. Cover with foil and bake until the edges and tops are golden brown, and the center is tender, about 45 to 55 minutes.
Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining parmesan
Cook for another 5 to 10 minutes without the foil to melt the parmesan. Garnish with extra thyme and serve.
