Roasted Brussel Sprout Salad with Maple Balsamic Glaze
The perfect warm salad for a fall dinner or Thanksgiving side dish made easy!
Ingredients
- 1 Bag Fresh shaved Brussel sprouts (not frozen)
- 1 Bag Fresh butternut squash noodles (not frozen)
- 4 Slices Prosciutto
- 1/2 Cup Candied pecans or walnuts
- 1/2 Cup Dried cherries or cranberries
- 1 Oz Goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 Cup good 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.
