Keto Garlic Ranch Roasted Turnips

Roasted Turnips are a great low carb side dish that pairs perfectly with any entree! This Garlic Ranch Roasted Turnips Recipe will please the whole family!

Roasted Turnips are a great keto side dish to replace potatoes! They are firm and filling like potatoes but without all of the carbs.

Turnips are a great potato alternative for many reasons. Turnips are cruciferous vegetables that are high in nutrients while being low in carbs. They have a nice mild flavor and can be prepared in a variety of different ways.

Roasted Turnips make a simple low carb, low-calorie side dish. They are also a great source of fiber, another much-needed nutrient for the keto diet.

How To Choose The Best Turnips

When shopping for the best turnips, you want to choose the ones that are a bit smaller and feel heavy. The older turnips are, the more woody the texture becomes.

Smaller turnips have a much more mild flavor and are less peppery than the larger sized turnips. Also the tops should be bright green.

For this recipe, you can use a prepackaged ranch dressing mix or the dry ingredients from my Keto Ranch Dressing Recipe. Both taste equally as good - the only difference is a few less carbs!
