Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 2 pounds rutabaga, skin removed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (5 cups)

  • 3/4 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise

  • 1 ounce toasted hazelnuts, chopped (1/3 cup)

Directions

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Prepare the Vegetables:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the rutabaga and brussels sprouts to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
  • Roast the Vegetables:
  • Spread the coated rutabaga and brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and golden brown.
  • Add Hazelnuts:
  • Once the vegetables are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish and sprinkle with the toasted hazelnuts for added crunch.
  • Serve Warm:
  • Garnish with extra lemon juice or olive oil if desired, and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
