One large rutabaga, peeled and cubed into more or less bite-sized pieces, will serve four people easily. Coat the pieces in oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and granulated garlic. Bake at 350 in a well-oiled pan, tossing and turning occasionally to brown evenly. When they’re just tender, sprinkle with dried sage, rosemary, and thyme, add a few pats of butter, toss and cook until done through.
