Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 0.5 cup Walnuts
- 1 large Fennel bulb
- 3 large Shallots
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half lengthwise.
Slice the fennel bulb thinly, discarding the tough core, and set aside.
Peel the shallots and slice them into thin rounds.
Place the Brussels sprouts, fennel, and shallots on a large baking sheet.
Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Toss everything to coat evenly.
Spread the vegetables out in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the vegetables are roasting, toast the walnuts: Heat a small dry skillet over medium heat and add the walnuts. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant and slightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the vegetables are done roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving bowl.
Add the toasted walnuts to the roasted vegetables.
Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, and honey (if using). Toss to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
