Great with white salad turnips
6 turnips (14 to 15 ounces unpeeled and cut into 1/2 to 3/4 inch cubes)
2 bosc pears (firm ripe, 7 ounces each unpeeled cored and cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
11/2 tsps coarse salt
2 tbsps unsalted butter

1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

3. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add honey and rosemary; let simmer for a few seconds and remove from heat.
4. Transfer turnips and pears to a large bowl and drizzle with butter mixture; toss to combine. Serve.
