Roasted Rutabagas

Serves 2 to 4

1 large rutabaga

2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon sugar

Salt and fresh, coarse ground black pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 400°.  Peel the rutabaga and cut into half inch cubes.  Place the cubes in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients.  Toss about to coat evenly.  Place the seasoned rutabaga on a baking sheet lined with baker’s parchment and place in the center of the oven until tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.  Serve hot as a side dish.
