Roasted Brussels Sprouts Butternut Squash With Balsamic Vinegar Food

BALSAMIC HERB SHEET PAN ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, or line two small baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary and salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Add butternut squash, brussels sprouts, carrot chunks and red onion to the sheet pan. Pour the balsamic herb mixture over the top and gently toss to coat all of the veggies. Spread in an even layer.
• Roast for 35-45 minutes, flipping veggies halfway through. Vegetables are done when squash is fork tender. Serve with chicken, fish, over quinoa, brown rice or as is for a festive holiday side dish. Serves 6.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull off any yellow outer leaves. Mix them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour them on a sheet pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan from time to time to brown the sprouts evenly. Sprinkle with more kosher salt ( I like these salty like French fries), and serve immediately.
