Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 pints Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (about 1 lb)
- 2 large shallots, sliced
- 2 red or orange bell peppers, cut into 2-inch chunks
Seasoning and Others
- 3–4 tablespoons olive oil or melted coconut oil, plus more if needed
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- Coarse salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to allow it to reach the high temperature needed for roasting.
- Prepare the vegetables: Toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts, sliced shallots, and bell pepper chunks with 3-4 tablespoons of olive or melted coconut oil until all pieces are lightly coated. Add more oil if necessary.
- Season and arrange: Spread the coated vegetables evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Liberally sprinkle coarse salt and ground black pepper over the mixture to season it well.
- Initial roasting: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes, allowing the vegetables to start browning.
- Stir and continue roasting: Carefully stir the vegetables to redistribute them, ensuring even cooking. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are nicely browned and tender.
- Add balsamic vinegar and serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, drizzle the roasted vegetables with 2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar, and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent any vegetables or oil from spilling during roasting.
- Adjust oil quantity based on desired crispness and coating.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling some crushed red pepper flakes before roasting.
- If you prefer a softer texture, reduce the roasting time slightly.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated; however, they are best enjoyed fresh.
