Steamed turnips in a slow cooker

Cookinero 4 May 2025

In Rus', turnips were prepared in different ways, except for one - they were not steamed in a multicooker. The recipe is very simple. It turns out not only a tasty, but also a healthy dish. Turnips are rich in vitamin C, iron, iodine, potassium, and fiber. Steamed turnips in a multicooker retain all the nutrients. To choose a good root vegetable, pay attention to its skin. It should be smooth and elastic - then the pulp will be juicy.

Steamed turnips in a slow cooker - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use a regular steamer if you don’t have a slow cooker. Steam the turnip slices for about 15–20 minutes until tender, then add the onion and garlic for the last 5 minutes as directed.
Carrots, potatoes, or parsnips work well with turnips. You can also add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor. Adjust the cooking time if using harder vegetables.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to prevent drying out.
This recipe is naturally vegan. For a low-carb version, reduce or omit the onion, as it contains more carbs. Garlic can still be used in moderation.
Yes, steamed turnips freeze well. Let them cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
Try drizzling with olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of smoked paprika after cooking. A dash of soy sauce or balsamic glaze also adds depth.
Serve as a side dish with roasted meats, grilled fish, or a grain bowl. They also pair well with a yogurt-based dip or hummus for a light appetizer.
