Oven Roasted Ranch "Potatoes"

Oven Roasted Ranch "Potatoes"

So obviously these aren't really potatoes.  If delicious potatoes were actually low-carb we would probably all be doing a little happy dance.  This recipe is made with rutabagas.  I love to take food and transform it to be as close to it's carb-laden counterpart as possible.  I have a new found love for this underrated root vegetable.  This recipe honestly couldn't be any easier.  You can lower the carb count quite a bit by making your own dry ranch mix.  Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS
