Love turnips? A 30Seconds community member asked this question in the comments on my air fryer turnips recipe:
"I have a bunch of fresh turnips and wanted to experiment with them. This recipe sounds great but, I have no idea what a turnip taste like. I love cooking for the missus and do not want to screw up. I need a simple recipe to get the feel of a turnips taste. You have a bunch of phenomenal recipes so I trust your word."
This easy buttered turnips recipe is how I suggested he cook his first bunch of turnips. This is the way I grew up eating turnips – boiled with butter, salt and pepper. Cooked this way they are tender, flavorful and the turnip flavor shines through.
You only need two ingredients for this simple southern recipe: turnips (check out the health benefits of turnips) and butter. Oh, and salt and black pepper.
Picky eaters may even enjoy them because they look like potatoes. (I have to tell my husband they aren't potatoes so he doesn't squirt ketchup all over them!) Serve this simple side dish recipe with your favorite dinners.
