This vibrant vegan dish elevates the humble turnip into something truly sophisticated, pairing the naturally sweet crunch of roasted hakurei turnips with a punchy, Japanese-inspired dressing. The combination of citrusy Meyer lemon, savoury soy and a hint of heat from the togarashi creates a complex flavour profile that perfectly complements the earthy notes of the roasted vegetables. By using both the roots and the leaves, this recipe ensures nothing goes to waste while adding a lovely variety of textures to the plate.

Ideal as a light starter or a standout side dish for a weekend dinner, these roasted turnips are as nutritious as they are flavourful. The dressing can be prepared up to three days in advance and kept in the fridge, making this a convenient option for entertaining. Serve it alongside steamed grains or as part of a larger plant-based spread for a healthy, homemade meal that feels genuinely special.

Ingredients for Turnips with Spicy Meyer Lemon Dressing

400g bonito flakes
120ml de açúcar
120ml usukuchi (light) soy sauce
60ml de mirin (vinho de arroz japonês doce)
1 tablespoon ichimi togarashi
Zest and juice of 4 Meyer lemons or regular lemons (about 120ml juice)
2 bunches hakurei turnips with tops
2 colheres de sopa de óleo vegetal
Sal kosher
Sementes de gergelim torradas (para servir)

How to make Turnips with Spicy Meyer Lemon Dressing

Preheat oven to 218°C. Grind bonito flakes in a spice mill or blender until finely ground (you should have about 2 tablespoons ). Bring ground bonito, sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and togarashi to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, until reduced by a third, 12–15 minutes. Pour dressing into a small bowl; cover and chill until cold, at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Stir in lemon zest and juice.

Meanwhile, separate tops from turnips. Trim stems from leaves; discard. Coarsely chop leaves. Cut turnips into 1" wedges. Toss turnips and leaves with oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season lightly with salt (the dressing is salty). Roast, tossing halfway through, until leaves are wilted and turnips have taken on a touch of colour, 12–15 minutes.

Transfer turnips and leaves to a platter; spoon some of the dressing over (you’ll have extra). Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
