- 3 c. butternut squash (1” dice)- 3 c. Brussels sprouts (uniform size, sliced in half)- 3 cloves minced garlic- 5 oz. Wildfare Sun Dried Tomato Strips (half a jar)- Wildfare Extra Virgin Olive Oil- Wildfare Balsamic Vinegar- 3 T. toasted pignoli (pine nuts) – (chopped walnuts are a nice substitute)- 3 oz. shaved or grated Parmesan cheese
PREPARATION
1
Toss the diced butternut squash and halved Brussels sprouts in a couple tablespoons of EVOO. Mix in minced garlic. Salt and pepper to taste.
2
Place on a sheet tray in a single layer. Make sure the Brussels sprouts are cut side down. This ensures the glorious caramelization we are all looking for!
3
Roast at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes, depending on how firm or soft you prefer your roasted vegetables.
4
Shake the sheet pan halfway through the cooking time to make sure nothing is sticking or scorching. Add the sun dried tomato strips. Continue cooking.
5
Toast the pignoli in a dry skillet on the stove top. This only takes a few minutes; pignoli can go from deliciously golden brown to burnt in an instant, so don’t walk away!
6
Once toasted, set the pan aside. When the vegetable medley is roasted to your satisfaction, spoon into a serving bowl.
7
Drizzle with EVOO and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with toasted pignoli and parmesan. Enjoy!
