    Before you finalize your menus for the Super Bowl this weekend, let me throw another app into the mix! After all, veggies DO have a place at the Super Bowl table.

    Sure, I’ll be digging into chili and some Philly themed cheesesteak bites this weekend, but I’ll also be making some tasty vegetable dishes. I just can’t help it!

    This Roasted Turnip Hummus is a great way to incorporate veggies into your spread AND finally try out turnips. (If you’re looking for other turnip recipes, don’t forget to check out the Turnip and Beet Gratin with Gruyere, Roasted Turnips and Pears, and Turnip Noodles with Eggs and Chives).

    I admit I’m really not a turnip fan, but I realized I needed to give them a second chance. Any vegetable can taste good if you experiment enough.

    Plus, turnips are so darn nutritious. They’re low in calories, high in fiber, and rich in several nutrients. That’s a lot of good stuff, right? Right! So next time you see turnips at the store or farmers market, don’t turn your nose up at them… ;-)!

    How to Make Roasted Turnip Hummus

    To make this recipe, I started with what I know best – roasting vegetables. Roasting diced turnips in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper was key in bringing out their flavor.

    In fact, the oven seemed to transform the subtle bitterness of turnips into a milder taste that could be a perfect complement to other plant-based ingredients.

    So what did I do next? With the Super Bowl in the back of my mind (especially since my home town Eagles will be playing in the big game), I immediately indexed to a shareable dish that would encourage people to eat more veggies.

    I blended the turnips with some tahini, fresh lemon juice, seasonings, and chickpeas. And voila, this Roasted Turnip Hummus was born. For this step, I recommend using a high powered blender like the Vitamix but you can use any type of blender.

    Once you finish making the hummus, serve with fresh vegetables, pita chips, or Granny Smith apples (I swear they taste great with it)!

    Some of my other favorite recipes for the big game this weekend include:

    • Pumpkin and Black Bean Dip
    • Maple Roasted Almonds
    • Chili Roasted Black Eyed Peas
    • Baked Orange Sesame Cauliflower

      I had two bunches of baby tiny turnips that I already cooked the greens from and this was a great way to use the turnips. I used more lemon juice, and I think two bunches of baby turnups cut up is only about a cup and a half. Roasted baby turnips are a treat, and then turned into hummus — it is amazing. Yum!

      Love love loved this hummus. The turnips gave it a natural sweetness. I did get a touch of bitterness from the tahini I bought at the store. I might try my hand at homemade tahini when I make this recipe again, which I totally will…and soon!

      Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Finding the time and actual effort to make a superb article… but what can I say… I hesitate a whole lot and never manage to get nearly anything done.
