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 Oil
- 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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for perfect roasting.
- Prepare Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts, sliced shallots, and chunky bell peppers with 3-4 tablespoons of olive or coconut oil, making sure all vegetables are lightly but evenly coated. Add additional oil if necessary.
- Season: Spread the coated vegetables out evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle liberally with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors during roasting.
- Initial Roasting: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 15 minutes until they begin to brown.
- Stir and Continue Roasting: Carefully stir the veggies to ensure even browning and roast for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and immediately drizzle the roasted vegetables with balsamic vinegar to add a tangy finish. Serve hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For an extra depth of flavor, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes before roasting.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to allow even roasting and caramelization.
- You can substitute shallots with thinly sliced red onions if preferred.
- This dish is best served immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- To keep it vegan and keto-friendly, use coconut oil and check labels on vinegar for additives.
