How to make Turnips with garlicky breadcrumbs and parmesan

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the turnips and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the turnips to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking, then drain and pat dry. Place the turnips in a large bowl.

2. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and panko, stirring occasionally until the panko is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.

3. Zest half of the lemon over the turnips, then cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over them. Add the parsley and half of the toasted breadcrumbs, then drizzle with a little more oil. Season with salt and toss well to combine.

4. Transfer the turnips to a serving platter and top with Parmesan and the remaining breadcrumbs.

5. Note that the breadcrumbs can be toasted up to 1 day in advance; store them in an airtight container at room temperature. The turnips can also be prepared up to 8 hours ahead; allow them to cool, then cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
