This Keto Sweet and Sour Turnips recipe offers a delicious low-carb twist on a classic flavor combination. Tender turnip cubes are sautéed to golden perfection, then coated in a tangy and slightly sweet glaze made from apple cider vinegar, keto-friendly sweetener, and Dijon mustard. Finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, this dish is a flavorful and healthy side perfect for any keto meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Turnips

  • 4 medium turnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Sweet and Sour Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped


Instructions

  1. Prepare the turnips: Peel and cut the turnips into 1-inch cubes. Set them aside to prepare for cooking.
  2. Cook the turnips: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turnip cubes and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and develop a light golden brown color on the edges.
  3. Make the sweet and sour glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, erythritol, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the sweetener dissolves completely and the mixture is well combined.
  4. Coat the turnips: Pour the sweet and sour glaze over the cooked turnips in the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly. Continue cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken slightly and fully coat the turnips.
  5. Serve: Garnish the glazed turnips with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. This side dish pairs perfectly with keto-friendly meals.

Notes

  • For best texture, do not overcook the turnips as they can become mushy.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of erythritol to your taste.
  • Substitute apple cider vinegar with white vinegar if preferred, though the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Fresh parsley adds a fresh aroma, but you can substitute with cilantro or chives if desired.
  • This dish is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated on the stovetop.
