Crispy-edged vegetables roasted until caramelized, then tossed in a tangy-sweet balsamic reduction with garlic and toasted nuts for a sophisticated side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1 pound broccoli, cut into florets
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Steps
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Pat Brussels sprouts and broccoli florets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, toss vegetables with 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until evenly coated.
- Divide vegetables between 2 large baking sheets in a single layer, placing Brussels sprouts cut-side down and spreading broccoli flat.
- Roast vegetables for 20 minutes, then stir and rotate baking sheets from top rack to bottom and vice versa.
- Continue roasting for another 10 minutes until Brussels sprouts are deeply caramelized and broccoli is golden with crispy edges.
- While vegetables roast, combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Simmer balsamic mixture for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half and slightly thickened.
- Toast chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned.
- Transfer roasted vegetables from baking sheets to a large serving bowl or platter.
- Drizzle warm balsamic glaze over vegetables and gently toss to coat evenly.
- Top with toasted walnuts and fresh parsley, then serve immediately.
