Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the vegetables; make the whipped goat cheese
Heat the oven to 425°F.
- Scrub or peel the carrot and trim the ends; cut the carrot on the diagonal into 1-inch-thick slices.
- Trim the ends from the Brussels sprouts. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise.
- Peel the onion and cut into ½-inch-thick slices.
- Set aside 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] maple syrup for the goat cheese, the rest for the vegetables.
In a small bowl, using a fork or whisk, blend the goat cheese, 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons [3 TBL] warm water until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
2
Roast the vegetables
On a sheet pan, toss the carrot, Brussels sprouts, and onion with 2 to 4 teaspoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until lightly browned and tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and the remaining maple syrup and continue cooking until the vegetables are glazed, 1 to 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook your protein.
3
Cook your protein
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking.
For chicken:
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper
Add the chicken to the pan and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until firm and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.
For pork:
- Pat the pork dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper.
Add the pork to the pan and cook, turning frequently, until browned but still faintly pink within, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.
For salmon:
- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel; season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add the salmon to the pan and cook until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.
4
Toast the hazelnuts
In the same pan used for your protein over medium heat, toast the hazelnuts, stirring often, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Serve
Spread the whipped goat cheese across one side of individual serving plates, top with the maple balsamic-glazed vegetables, and garnish with the hazelnuts. Place your protein alongside and serve.
