Shaved brussels sprouts and kale oven roasted to perfection aka crispiness, toss in strawberries sliced, feta cheese, and candied pumpkin seeds.
Ingredients
Roasted brussels sprouts and kale
- 1 lbs Brussels sprouts, shaved
- 4 handful Kale
- ¼ cup olive oil
- Feta cheese
- 4 slices Prosciutto optional
- 4-5 Strawberries, sliced
Candied pumpkin Seeds
- 1 cup Pumpkin or sunflower seeds or a mixture of both
- ½ cup Maple syrup
- 1 tbsp Butter
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Nutmeg
Honey Balsamic Vinegar Dressing
- ¼ cup Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Roasted brussels sprouts and kale
- Pre heat the oven to 450℉.To prepare the brussels sprouts, trim the ends and cut into halves. Slice them thin across with a knife or you can use a vegetable slicer for a quicker process. Combine shaved brussels sprouts and kale into a large mixing bowl to toss and massage in the olive oil. Season with some salt and pepper.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the vegetables evenly on the sheet pan. Optional: place slices of prosciutto on top of the vegetable. Roast for 20-25 minutes.
Candied Seeds
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the candied seeds. In a small pan, simmer maple syrup and nutmeg on a medium low heat until the syrup is hot and bubbling. Add in pumpkin and/or sunflower seeds. I used a combo of both.
- Add in butter and stir real well making sure the seeds are coated. Take the candied seeds off the oven, and spread them on a parchment paper. Let it cool before using them as a topping.
Salad dressing
- Combine olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Whisk well.
- Assemble the salad. Top it off with candied seeds, strawberry slices, feta cheese, and prosciutto (optional).
