Garlic Butter Air Fryer Turnips Recipe Will Make a Turnip Lover Out of You by Donna John

Growing up, my family ate pretty much every vegetable. The only vegetable I didn't eat as a child was parsnips, which I do need to ask my mom about. Turnips were always boiled until soft with butter, salt and pepper. Delicious! (Here's my southern turnips recipe.) That's the way I prepare them now – every time. Until tonight.

The low-sodium recipe for air fryer carrots is my new favorite vegetable recipe. As I was peeling the turnips for dinner (yes, to boil then add butter, salt and pepper to) I thought about this recipe. Hmm. I think you know where this is going. Here's my second favorite way now to prepare turnips. This garlic butter air fryer turnip recipe is a keeper.

To make these garlic butter air fryer turnips you will need fresh turnips, butter and garlic powder. The turnips are cooked in the air fryer for about 15 minutes. So delicious! Serve these tasty turnips as a side dish with chicken, beef, lamb, seafood or pork. Toss them in a salad!
