1/4 cup lemon juice, preferably Meyer lemon
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 Tablespoons raw sugar

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a
roasting pan with aluminum foil.
Place turnips and carrots in a glass or
ceramic bowl and toss with olive oil. In a separate
bowl combine lemon juice, zest, sugar and
seasonings. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour
over turnips and carrots and allow to sit at least
30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Drain veggies and save the marinade.
