Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Vinegar

When it comes to side dishes, I often gravitate towards something with a little bit of texture.

Roasted Brussels sprouts fit the bill perfectly.

They’re crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they have a wonderful earthy flavor that pairs well with just about anything.

Best of all, they’re extremely easy to make.

Simply toss them in a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then roast them in a hot oven until they’re golden brown.

You can also add other ingredients to customize the flavor.

A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese adds a touch of richness, while crushed red pepper flakes give them a bit of heat.

No matter how you make them, roasted Brussels sprouts are sure to be a hit at your next dinner party.

Garlic Parmesan Green Beans

Canned green beans are a classic side dish that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

This garlic Parmesan version is simple to make and full of flavor.

The beans are cooked until they’re tender but still have a bit of bite, and then they’re tossed with a zesty mixture of garlic, Parmesan, and olive oil.

You can adjust the seasonings to taste, and if you want a bit more color and texture, you can add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes or Kalamata olives.

Serve these green beans alongside leek fritters for a delicious and easy weeknight meal.

Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus

Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables.

It’s not only incredibly healthy, but it’s also very versatile.

You can roast it, grill it, or even turn it into a soup.

One of my favorite ways to enjoy asparagus is by wrapping it in bacon and roasting it in the oven.

The bacon adds a delicious salty flavor and the asparagus itself has a beautiful earthy taste.

I like to add a bit of Parmesan cheese and some cracked black pepper for extra flavor.

This dish pairs perfectly with fritters and a glass of white wine.

Trust me, once you try it you’ll be hooked!

Honey Glazed Carrots

Carrots are one of my favorite vegetables to cook with.

They have a great texture that can be easily changed depending on how you prepare them.

For this dish, I like to roast the carrots so that they develop a slight char around the edges while still remaining crisp in the center.

The key to getting the perfect texture is to slice the carrots evenly so that they cook at the same rate.

Another important element of this dish is the honey glaze.

The honey not only adds sweetness, but it also helps to create a beautiful caramelized crust on the carrots.

1. To make the glaze, simply combine honey, butter, and your choice of spices in a small pan and cook over low heat until everything is well combined.
2. Once the carrots are out of the oven, simply brush them with the glaze and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

This dish also pairs well with leek fritters and roasted potatoes.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes

I absolutely love sweet potatoes.

They have the perfect balance of sweetness and earthiness and they’re so versatile.

You can roast them, mash them, fry them… the possibilities are endless.

And they’re good for you, too!

But my favorite thing about sweet potatoes is their texture.

When they’re roasted, they get all crispy on the outside but they’re still nice and soft on the inside.

And when you add a little bit of butter and some salt, they’re absolutely heavenly.

If you’ve never tried roasted sweet potatoes, I highly encourage you to give them a try.

They’re super easy to make – all you need is a sweet potato, some olive oil, and a little bit of salt.

1. Just cut your potato into small chunks, drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle on some salt.
2. Then roast it in a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until it’s nice and crispy.

You can also add other ingredients like garlic or rosemary if you want to switch things up.

But trust me, even just the basic recipe is DELICIOUS.

Quinoa Salad

I love quinoa salad because of its unique texture.

It’s not as mushy as rice, but it’s also not as chewy as pasta.

Instead, it has a light, fluffy consistency that makes it perfect for absorbing the flavors of whatever dressing or sauce you add to it.

And speaking of flavor, quinoa salad is incredibly versatile.

You can add just about any ingredients you like, from grilled vegetables to crumbled feta cheese.

I often make mine with chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, and Kalamata olives.

It’s a great side dish for leek fritters or grilled chicken breast.

But my favorite way to enjoy quinoa salad is on its own, as a light and healthy lunchtime meal.

Kale Salad

I love kale salad.

The texture of the kale is so satisfying, and it’s so easy to make.

Just chop up some kale, add some olive oil and vinegar, and you’re good to go.

You can also add other ingredients to taste, like raisins, nuts, or cheese.

Farro Salad

Farro is a nutty, chewy grain that makes a great addition to salads.

It has a dense, satisfying texture that is perfect for hearty eaters.

To make a farro salad, cook the grain according to package directions.

Then, add your favorite vegetables and dressing.

I like to add roasted red peppers, olives, and a simple vinaigrette.

You can also add other ingredients like feta cheese or grilled chicken.

The possibilities are endless!

This salad pairs well with leek fritters, but would also be delicious on its own.

The nutty flavor of the farro is complemented by the freshness of the vegetables, making it a perfect light lunch or side dish.

Give it a try the next time you’re looking for something new to bring to a potluck or picnic!

Fruit Salad

A good fruit salad is all about texture.

You want a mix of soft and firm fruits, so you get a range of different textures in each bite.

I like to add in some grapes, a few sliced strawberries, and a couple pieces of diced mango.

For a bit of crunch, I’ll add in a few chopped up almonds.

And to really bring out the flavor, I like to drizzle a little honey on top.

This dish pairs well with leek fritters, but can also be enjoyed on its own.

The key is to find the right balance of ingredients so that each bite is an enjoyable experience.
