Cook the Turnips:
Place peeled turnips in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil.
Cook for 20-30 minutes, or until a knife easily pierces through.
Drain and let cool slightly.
Prepare for Roasting:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Place turnips on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Gently press each turnip down until about ½-inch thick.
Let drain for 15 minutes, then flip to dry the other side.
Season and Assemble:
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick foil.
Arrange flattened turnips on the sheet and brush with the garlic-oil mixture.
Sprinkle Parmesan on top, pressing down gently.
Carefully flip each turnip and repeat the process on the other side.
Bake to Perfection:
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Flip each turnip and bake an additional 15 minutes until golden and crispy.
Garnish with fresh chives and serve hot.
