Roasted Vegetables And Hazelnuts
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup hazelnuts
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
METHOD / INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for 8–10 minutes, or until the skins crack. Let cool, then rub them with a kitchen towel to remove most of the skins. Roughly chop the hazelnuts and set aside.
- Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Place carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and onion on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast vegetables for 25–30 minutes, stirring once, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- In a large serving bowl, layer the mixed greens with roasted vegetables. Sprinkle roasted hazelnuts on top.
- Drizzle with remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar just before serving. Can be served warm or at room temperature.
