Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 medium turnips, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

1/8 teaspoon salt

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

3 tablespoons honey

Directions

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning preparation.

  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  3. Add the cubed turnips and carrots to the skillet along with the salt. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften and show light browning at the edges.

  4. Stir in the minced garlic and sesame seeds. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and the sesame seeds become lightly toasted.

  5. Drizzle the honey over the vegetables and toss well to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute more, allowing the honey to warm and combine with the other ingredients.

  6. Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm.
