Vocalpoint - Fries Without the Potatoes

1 sm rutabaga (1 1/4 lb), peeled
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp hoisin sauce*
1 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1/2 tsp red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp five-spice powder or ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a jelly-roll pan (basically, a baking sheet with 1" sides) with foil. Coat lightly with cooking spray.

Slice rutabaga 1/2" thick. Cut into 1/2"-wide strips. In a steamer basket set over simmering water, steam rutabaga, covered, 12 minutes, or just until tender.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine honey, hoisin, ginger, oil, vinegar, and five-spice powder. Gently toss in rutabaga until evenly covered.

Place rutabaga mixture and liquid in the pan, and spread out in a single layer. Bake 30 minutes, turning over after 20 minutes, or until tender and golden.
