Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Carrots
Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Carrots combines halved Brussels sprouts and carrot pieces roasted with garlic and olive oil until tender and browned. The vegetables are seasoned with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a slightly spicy kick, then garnished with fresh parsley. This preparation yields a flavorful, textured side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts halved (extra large brussels sprouts should be quartered)
- 1 pound carrot peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt or more to taste, sea salt
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- red pepper flakes to taste
- parsley for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven heats, wash, dry and cut the vegetables, quartering the sprouts and cutting the carrots into 1-inch pieces.
- Place the vegetables and garlic in a large bowl, then drizzle the olive oil over the veggies and toss to coat evenly. Spread the vegetables in an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
- Sprinkle the vegetables with salt, pepper and red pepper, to taste.
- Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until they are tender and browned. After removing the vegetables from the oven, garnish with parsley or your favorite fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
- Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days.
- Reheat by spreading vegetables on a lightly oiled baking sheet and warming at 375°F until heated.
