- 1). Peel the swede before roasting. Use a kitchen knife instead of a peeler to easily remove the swede's thick and uneven skin. Slice off the root, and cut the swede into 2-inch chunks. Place the diced swede in a bowl, fill with water, and rub gently to clean. Drain and set aside.
- 2). Pour 1 tbsp. of olive oil over the swede. Use a wooden spoon to evenly coat the swede chunks. Use a proportion of 1 tbsp. of olive oil for every 1 lb. of swede.
- 3). Mix salt and pepper according to your taste preference. Place the seasoned swede chunks on a baking tray.
- 4). Pre-heat the oven, setting it to gas mark seven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Set the baking tray in the oven and bake the swede for around 40 minutes, or until it is lightly browned at the edges.
