Ingredients
- 1 pound rutabagas 2 whole, peeled and cut to 1/2-inch dice
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 onion finely chopped
- 1 red and 1 yellow bell pepper diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Arrange rutabagas in large microwave-safe bowl, top with 1 tablespoon butter, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave on high until soft, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While rutabagas are cooking, melt 1 tablespoon butter in large pan over medium heat. Add onion and bell peppers and cook until softened and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in pan over medium heat. Add cooked rutabagas and pack down with spatula. Cook, without moving, until underside of rutabagas are brown, 7 minutes. Turn the rutabagas over with a spatula, pack down again, and continue to cook until well browned and crisp on the opposite side, another 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring rutabagas every few minutes, until crusty and golden on all sides, 9 to 12 minutes. Stir in onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
