Ingredients:

Serving

4 lb rutabagas, peeled, cut into 3/4- to 1-inch cubes
nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 1/2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp minced peeled fresh ginger
1 1/2 tsp sugar
3 firm anjou pears (about 1 3/4 lb), peeled, cored, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
5 tbsp butter
1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
coarse kosher salt

Directions:

Cook rutabagas in pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 35 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Combine oil, lemon juice, ginger, and sugar in large bowl. Add pears; toss to coat. Spread on prepared sheet. Roast until tender, turning pears every 10 minutes, about 35 minutes total.
Drain rutabagas; return to same pot. Mash to coarse puree. Stir over medium heat until excess moisture evaporates, 5 minutes. Add cream, butter, and thyme. Mix in pears and any juices from baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer to microwave-safe bowl. Cover; chill. Rewarm at 1-minute intervals.
