Ingredients
1BagFresh shaved Brussel sprouts (not frozen)
1BagFresh butternut squash noodles (not frozen)
4SlicesProsciutto
1/2CupCandied pecans or walnuts
1/2CupDried cherries or cranberries
1OzGoat cheese, crumbled
2tbspmaple syrup
1/2Cupgood aged balsamic vinegar
olive oil
salt & pepper
Instructions
Turn oven to 350 degrees.
Lay prosciutto slices on parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, until browned and crispy.
Turn oven up to 400 degrees.
Spread Brussel sprouts and squash into one even layer on 2 separate baking sheets.
Toss each with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Use hands to make sure it’s evenly seasoned.
Roast for 8-12 minutes, watching that the Brussel sprout leaves don’t burn. You many need to rotate the baking sheets from top to bottom if you’re using one oven.
For the Maple Balsamic Glaze, pour the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat and simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes until thickened and reduced by about half.
Prep your salad: Layer the ingredients on a platter starting with the squash, then Brussel sprouts. Crumble the prosciutto and sprinkle on top, followed by the candied nuts, dried cherries and goat cheese. Finally, finish with a drizzle of the maple balsamic glaze.
