PREPARATION

1. Step 1

   Heat the oven to 375 degrees.

2. Step 2

   In a bowl, toss together the turnips, olive oil, salt and pepper until well coated. Lay the turnips flat on a sheet pan lined with parchment. Roast, rotating the pan halfway through, until the turnips are tender with a bite in the centers and very lightly browned on the bottoms, about 15 minutes.

3. Step 3

   In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add the red onion and jalapeño, then cook, stirring often, until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the roasted turnips and gochugaru, then add the mandarin juice, lemon juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Increase the heat to high and bring to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 7 minutes.

4. Step 4

   To serve, top with chives, dill and flaky sea salt.
