1 bunch turnips (save the tops)1 bunch radishes (save the tops) 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon red chile pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil A squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Toppings: fresh mint, toasted sesame and/or pumpkin seeds, plain yogurt (seasoned with a bit of salt)

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Wash, trim, and quarter the turnips and radishes, setting aside the green tops.

Place the mint, chile pepper flakes, cumin seeds, and salt in a mortar and pestle and pound a bit, long enough to somewhat break up the cumin seeds. Add the ground cumin, cinnamon, and ground ginger. After that, add the olive oil and stir until combined.

Place the turnips and radishes in a large bowl. Pour the spiced olive oil over the vegetables and toss gently but thoroughly - until everything is equally coated. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until everything is cooked through.

Remove from the oven and serve on a platter topped with the turnip and radish greens, a squeeze of lemon and any/all of the other toppings. A fat dollop of salted yogurt really brings everything together.
