I'll be honest, it's not the prettiest looking of the vegetable family, but looks aren't everything. This humble, ugly vegetable is very versatile. You can add it to soup, casseroles, traybakes, curries, or mash it for the creamiest mash.
It's a great low-carb alternative to potatoes. They may not be the crunchiest fries you've had, but the soft creamy taste is lovely.
You can add some different toppings, herbs,spices, etc, to flavour them ...sesame seeds for crunch or even Parmesan for a tangy taste, or keep it simple with just a little salt if you prefer. The choice is yours.
I've done these in the Airfryer but they can be done in the oven too.
I'm sure you and the family will enjoy the taste and the healthy change, so why not give this a try and let us know how you get on in the comments below. We love to hear your feedback. E x
