Greek Style Oven Roasted Rutabaga
2 smallish rutabagas
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard

Preheat oven to 400°F. Peel rutabagas & cut them into roughly 2" chunks; place them in a large mixing bowl. Add rest of ingredients to a separate bowl & mix vigorously with a whisk until well combined.
Pour that sauce over rutabagas & toss with a spoon until all pieces are evenly coated. Spread rutabaga in a single layer across a broiler pan, making sure there is plenty of room between pieces of rutabaga to allow air to circulate freely.
Cover with aluminum foil & bake in oven for 30 minutes, then remove foil, lower heat to 375°F & continue baking, stirring 2 or 3 times during the process, until rutabaga is fork tender & starts to caramelize around edges, about 25 minutes.
Once rutabaga has reached desired colour & doneness, remove it from oven & immediately hit it with a light sprinkle of salt. Let it cool for a few minutes & then serve, garnished with fresh herbs & a dribble of extra-virgin olive oil, if desired.
