Mashed Rutabaga

(written for PerfectKeto.com)

One of the most overlooked veggies in the grocery store today are the nutritional powerhouses, rutabagas. Not only are they jam-packed with healthy nutrients, but they are a great low carb option for individuals following a low carb or ketogenic diet. Rutabagas are one of the easiest foods to prepare, and can be cut up into cubes and roasted to perfection within a matter of 30 minutes.

Rutabagas are a great low carb potato substitute due to their consistency, and the sweet flavor they release once cooked.
