Roast Walnut and Squash Medley with Persillade image

Think of all the activities that your microbes do for you, from releasing vitamins to creating fatty acids and hormones that impact your mood and inflammation. This dish-a one-tray vegetable bake with a little French flair-contains a variety of different sources of fiber and colors to help gut microbes bloom and shows how supporting your gut health can be easy, with no compromise on flavor. Persillade is an herby sauce, a little like a French pesto, made with ingredients we have an abundance of in the US.

Yield 2 servings plus leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 red onion, thickly sliced
10 ½ oz. peeled winter squash, cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
7 oz. chicory, roughly chopped (about 2 heads)
7 oz. portobello mushrooms, thickly sliced
7 oz. red peppers, halved, deseeded, and roughly chopped
2 oz. walnuts, halved
2 oz. cooked chestnuts, halved
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black
Pepper
For the persillade:
4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 oz. fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves and stalks finely chopped
½ oz. fresh tarragon leaves, finely chopped
½ oz. fresh dill, finely chopped (chervil, fennel fronds, or chives will also work)
½ shallot, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Arrange the vegetables and nuts on a large baking tray, drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, tossing everything halfway through so the ingredients cook evenly, until the vegetables are tender and the nuts are toasted.
  • Combine the persillade ingredients in a bowl with some salt and pepper. Remove the roasted vegetables and nuts from the oven, transfer to serving bowls, and dollop the persillade over the top.
