Roasted Winter Vegetable Salad
Warm roasted root vegetables tossed in a bright lemon-caper vinaigrette
Why This Recipe Works
Roasting the Brussels sprouts cut-side down ensures they develop a deep, nutty char while the other root vegetables become tender and sweet. Finishing the warm vegetables with a sharp caper vinaigrette balances the earthy flavors with a necessary punch of acidity.
Instructions
Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 450Β°F. Toss the Brussels sprouts, potatoes, shallots, carrots, garlic, olive oil, thyme, rosemary, sugar, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables into a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, arranging the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the center of the pan where they will brown most effectively. Roast until the vegetables are tender and deeply golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Whisk the parsley, capers, lemon juice, and the remaining oil together in a large bowl. Add the hot roasted vegetables directly to the bowl and toss gently to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and serve warm with lemon wedges.
