Preheat the oven to 200C/400F degrees.
Peel the turnips and cut into half.
Thinly slice the turnip (as thin as you can is better).
In a bowl add the olive oil and seasoning of choice.
Add the turnip slices, season with salt and pepper and toss until all slices are covered.
Either using a small quiche tin or a muffin tin, place the turnip slices into the dish to arrange a rose shape. Start with the outside pieces and work your way into the middle. For the centre piece, use a very thin slice and roll into a tight roll and slices around it. Place in the centre and fashion slices around it.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and soft.
Towards the end of the baking time, if the edges of the turnip slices start to crisp, add a dollop of butter and bake until soft and golden.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
