Instructions

Heat outdoor grill to 425 degrees F.

Scrub turnips clean of any dirt or debris, and slice into ½-inch thick rounds. Layer onto a large tray or sheet pan.

Brush chive blossom-infused olive oil onto the top side of the cut turnips and season with a sprinkling of salt and cracked black pepper.

Flip turnips, brush other side with oil, and season with remaining salt and cracked black pepper.

Place turnips directly onto the grates of your pre-heated grill and let cook for about 5 to 7 minutes without touching. Carefully turn with a grill-safe spatula or tongs, and grill the other side for about 5 minutes, or until fully cooked through.

Place on a serving platter, drizzle with about 2 tablespoons more chive blossom-infused olive oil and sprinkle with chopped chives to serve.

To make Chive Blossom-Infused Olive Oil:

Stuff chive blossoms — the purple flower from the top of fresh chives — into the LEVO pod and secure the lid. Place pod in the LEVO machine, and pour light olive oil into the chamber, ensuring chive blossoms are fully covered.

Set temperature to 170 degrees F for 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Slice Turnips Uniformly 🔪
Cut turnips into ¼-inch thick rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife to ensure even cooking and consistent caramelization on the grill.
Harvest Chive Blossoms at Peak 🌸
Pick chive blossoms early in the morning when they're fully open but before noon to capture maximum flavor and vibrant purple color for your infused oil.
Pre-Cook Turnips Before Grilling 🍳
Lightly steam or boil turnip slices for 3-4 minutes before grilling to reduce cooking time and ensure they're tender inside while developing a beautiful charred exterior.
Brush Oil at the Right Moment 🖌️
Apply chive blossom-infused oil only in the final 30 seconds of grilling to preserve the delicate floral notes and prevent the oil from burning off the heat.
Infuse Oil 24 Hours Ahead ⏰
Prepare your chive blossom-infused olive oil at least one day in advance to allow the subtle onion and floral flavors to fully develop and meld with the oil.
