1 large turnip

1 pound brussel sprouts
1 small sweet onion
8 fresh garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1/4 C extra-virgin olive oil
1 t dried thyme
1/4 t ground paprika

peel the vegetables and dice into 1" chunks. Toss into a large casserole dish along with the EVOO, spices, salt & pepper, and garlic. Coat evenly. Roast uncovered at 350 degrees for one hour (or until vegetables are easily pierced), tossing occasionally.
