Red Wine-Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Oven Roasted Sprouts With Baby Carrots & Red Peppers
Red Wine-Roasted Brussel Sprouts: Sample recipe from Nava Atlas's excellent cookbook, Vegan Holiday Kitchen.
The slightly sweet glaze gives brussels sprouts and their companion vegetables a rich flavor; carrots and red peppers give a beautiful taste and color contrast.

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds brussel sprouts, stemmed and halved lengthwise
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into narrow strips, about 2 inches long
- 1 cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise
- 2 to 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup dry red wine
- 3 tablespoons agave nectar or maple syrup, or to taste
- 1 1/2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions:
- For this recipe you'll need a large shallow glass or enamel roasting pan
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
- Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl
- Transfer ingredients to a foil lined roasting pan
- Roast for 30 minutes, stirring every few minutes, or until the vegetables are touched with brown spots here and there and nicely glazed
- Transfer to a serving bowl and keep warm until needed, or serve at once
Recipe Tips:
I added 2 tsp of oil to the coating mix, and reduced the soy sauce by that amount, as I don't mind a little fat, but I do mind my sodium.
For less crunchy veggies cover the dish with a lid or foil for the first half of baking, and reduce the heat to 350 degrees. Then they'll steam in their own juices.
