Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine turnips, miso, butter, and sugar in a medium skillet, then add water just to cover vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook turnips, turning occasionally, until they are tender and liquid is evaporated, 15–20 minutes.

    Step 3

    Once all the liquid has cooked off, keep cooking turnips, tossing occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized and the sauce thickens and glazes the vegetables, about 5 minutes longer.

    Step 4

    Add lemon juice and a splash of water to pan and swirl to coat turnips. Season with salt and pepper.
