Ingredients
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Baby Potatoes Ingredients
- 300 grams of baby potatoes, halved
- 450 grams of Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 100 grams of Medjool dates, pitted and quartered
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil (for roasting)
- 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (for roasting)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Dressing Ingredients
- 50 grams Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated (plus more for garnish)
- 1 red chili, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon of lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
Steps
- Firstly, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss the halved potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and dates with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking tray, ensuring most sprouts are cut-side down for extra crispness.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and the sprouts are caramelized.
- While the vegetables roast in the oven, make your dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the parmigiano reggiano, chopped chili, olive oil, maple syrup, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- When the vegetables are ready drizzle the dressing generously over the top, ensuring every bite is infused with its sweet, spicy, and tangy flavor. Give it a toss with a wooden spatula. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with some freshly grated parmigiano reggiano and serve.
