Lettuce turnip the beet! Amiright?! Okay, so I saw someone with a cute little canvas grocery bag that said that the other day while I was buying beer. If anyone knows where I can get a bag that says that, please let me know, because I would love to have one.
Anyways... What does that have to do with this recipe? Turnips. Beets. They're both here! This was my first experience with turnips and I have to say, they're a new favorite of mine, especially when roasted (look out cauliflower and brussels sprouts)!
This dish is a nice spring side dish. It's got colorful root vegetables and a bright, lemony, herby, "aioli" which pairs so nicely with the simply roasted veggies. It's easy, quick, yet sophisticated.
