Ways to eat rutabaga…

- boiled and mashed (like potatoes)
- in soups (replacing potatoes)
- julienned raw to add crunch to salads
- stir-frying with other veggies
- cut into veggie sticks for dipping into hummus
Today I made Rutabaga Fries as an appetizer (along with sweet potato fries)
Baked Rutabaga Fries
