Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On one of the baking sheets, lay out the brussels sprouts. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and soy sauce and drizzle over the sprouts. Toss the sprouts to combine and then season with pepper. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the beets. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic powder.
- On the other baking sheet, lay out the beet noodles and drizzle with the balsamic mixture. Toss the noodles together until combined and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 7 minutes or until al dente.
- While the beets and brussels sprouts roast, combine all of the ingredients for the dressing into a small bowl and whisk together to combine.
- Divide the beet noodles and brussels into two bowls and top with hummus dressing.
Avoiding Soggy Roots
Crowding the baking sheet releases moisture that steams vegetables instead of caramelizing them. Maintain adequate space between the halved Brussels sprouts to achieve proper browning at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Separate the spiralized beet noodles evenly across a second parchment-lined pan so they retain an al dente bite during their seven-minute roast.
Composing the Plate
Pairing these earthy root vegetables and brassicas requires proteins that balance the acidity of the balsamic glaze. Grilled flank steak or pan-seared white fish provides a savory contrast to the creamy sesame notes in the hummus dressing. Lemon juice cut into the tahini base adds brightness that bridges the gap between roasted brassicas and sweet beets.
Adjusting Yields
Scaling this preparation for larger groups requires multiplying the oil and soy sauce proportionately while keeping baking times consistent. Overloading pans forces batches into sequential rounds, so utilize multiple oven racks simultaneously if doubling the portions.
