Autumn Vegetables With Balsamic Glaze
- 1 head (small) Cauliflower, Cut Into Florets (about 2 1/2 Cups)
- 2 cups Brussels Sprouts, Trimmed, Ends Cut Off, And Halved (I Love The Trader Joe's Bags)
- 4 Carrots, Peeled And Sliced Into 1 Inch Pieces (about 2 Cups)
- 1-1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Sea Salt
- 1/4 teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 15 ounces, weight Canned White Beans (Cannellini Or Navy), Rinsed And Drained
- 1 cup Golden Raisins
- FOR THE BALSAMIC GLAZE:
- 1 Tablespoon Vegan Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Minced Shallots (about 1 Large Shallot)
- 1/4 cups Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/4 cups Vegetable Stock
- 1 Tablespoon Agave Nectar (or Honey)
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F.
- Toss the cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and carrots in a large bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and layer the vegetables evenly over the paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning a couple times during baking so the vegetables don't burn. Oven times may vary; it took me about 23 minutes. (Try one of each vegetable to make sure they're soft.)
- Return the vegetables to the large bowl. Add the white beans and golden raisins to the vegetable mix and stir. Set aside.
- While the vegetables are baking, make the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until shallots are soft, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, let shallots cook for 1 more minute, then add the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, vegetable stock, agave and lemon juice. Bring to a slow boil on low heat and cook until the glaze is reduced by half, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and let the sauce sit for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle the glaze over the vegetable mix and stir to coat. Serve. Best served immediately.
