    Stretching Fruit and Vegetables by Roasting Them

    One of my only complaints about belonging to a CSA is that sometimes I don't get enough of a particular vegetable to do a whole recipe with it.  With my last CSA pickup, we received a couple of handfuls of brussels sprouts.  Not enough to make a Brussels sprouts recipe.  Since they looked so fall to me, I decided to mix them with another fall item - pears.

    I thought that the flavors might complement each other - and they did.  I realize that I called this a salad and you are looking at what looks like just some roasted pieces on parchment paper.  What I had envisioned was then tossing these roasted Brussels sprouts and pears with some romaine lettuce and adding some dried cranberries and a light vinaigrette.

    I got lazy.  I still think the salad would be yummy, but I just served these straight off the baking sheet and they were so good!

    With my extra pears I made a quick homemade pear liqueur!

    So, I'm going to write up the pretend salad the way I envisioned it, but you can do what I did and just serve the sprouts and pears, either way works!  This would also be a good topping for any of the grain bowls that are so popular right now!

    It's so easy to make!  Just chop some Brussels sprouts and pears, some onions would probably be good too!  Toss them with some olive oil, salt and pepper on a parchment lined baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes!

    Looking for more easy roasted vegetable salads:

      I didn't eat brussel sprouts for so long because of whatever horrible dinner situation I must have encountered when I was a child 😉 I finally tried them again by roasting and I was so upset at what I'd been missing! This is a recipe I must try. Thanks for sharing with us at Funtastic Friday!

      I'd need a pound of bacon to eat brussel sprouts. Not a big fan.

      Hi, Pam. I don't think I'd make it to salad status either. I would just munch right from the pan too.
      Thank you for sharing! Hope you have a great week.

      Mmm... this just shouts out for autumn! I love the combination and I would probably just nibble these off the baking sheet while standing in the kitchen. 😉 Thanks for sending it to Souper Sundays.

      Hi Pam,
      I am patiently waiting for my sprouts to sprout but I'm not to sure they will make it, lol...I did buy some delicious pears at the farm stand down the block though and now I wish I hd bought the sprouts they were offering. I know this combinatin wouldn't make it into a salad either. I would probably eat them both together as a yummy snack!

      Thank you so much cor sharing, Pam...

        One time our CSA gave us the sprouts still on the stalk, I had never seen them that way!! I bet they look so interesting in the garden!

      I don't think I'd go for the salad thing. I'd serve them hot from the oven, looking just like yours.
