The Essential Ingredients

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1/2 bell pepper, diced
• 12 Brussels sprouts, halved
• 4 cremini mushrooms, chopped
• 2 scallions, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons olive oil or butter

Bringing it all Together

1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, bell pepper, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, and scallions.
2. Add the Magic: Add the sea salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and soy sauce to the bowl. Mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed and the vegetables are coated.
3. Choose Your Oil: If using olive oil, add it to the bowl and toss until the vegetables are evenly combined. If using butter, break it up into small pieces and distribute evenly atop the vegetables.
4. Roast to Perfection: Spread the vegetables on a cooking pan lined with aluminum foil, making sure they’re close together to soak up the juices. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and mix and flip the vegetables. Return to the oven for another 15 minutes or until tender.

Tips and Tricks

• If using a small oven, keep the oven door slightly ajar to release moisture and prevent the vegetables from becoming mushy.
• Experiment with different spices and seasonings to give your roasted vegetables a unique flavor profile.
• Make a batch of roasted vegetables on the weekend and enjoy them throughout the week in various dishes.
