Ingredients

• Vegetables: 1 lb (450 g) Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved), 1 medium red onion (thinly sliced), 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper
• Grains: 1 cup (200 g) quinoa or brown rice (uncooked), 2 cups (480 ml) water or vegetable broth
• Balsamic Dressing: 1/4 cup (60 ml) balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper
• Toppings (optional): 1/4 cup (30 g) toasted walnuts or pecans, 2 tbsp dried cranberries, 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Season the Vegetables

In a large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts and red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Roast

Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring once halfway, until Brussels sprouts are golden and caramelized.

Step 4: Cook the Grains

While the vegetables roast, rinse the quinoa (or rice) thoroughly. In a medium saucepan, combine grains and water (or broth). Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until tender and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Step 5: Prepare the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup (or honey), Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 6: Assemble

To serve, divide cooked grains among four bowls. Top with roasted Brussels sprouts and onions. Drizzle with balsamic dressing.

Step 7: Garnish

Garnish with toasted nuts, dried cranberries, and pumpkin seeds if desired.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure success, use the required tools like a baking sheet for even roasting and a saucepan with a lid for perfectly cooked grains. Always rinse your quinoa before cooking to remove its natural bitter coating. For the best flavor, make sure to whisk the dressing thoroughly until it emulsifies.

Varianten und Anpassungen

You can easily customize this bowl by swapping quinoa for farro, bulgur, or couscous. For an extra boost of protein, try adding chickpeas, grilled tofu, or even some crumbled feta cheese. If you want more color, roasted sweet potatoes or carrots make a wonderful addition to the vegetable mix.
