Best Roasted Root Vegetable Salad With Marcona Almonds Recipes

ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the onions, carrots and parsnips. Add the oil, herbes de Provence, salt and pepper; toss to coat evenly. Scatter the vegetables on a large nonstick rimmed baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. Turn the vegetables over and roast until tender and beginning to brown, 15 to 20 minutes longer. Set the vegetables aside.
• In a salad bowl, combine the arugula, pear slices and roasted vegetables. Add the Apple Cider Vinaigrette and toss until coated. Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts and serve.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the vinegar, honey, salt and pepper until blended. Gradually whisk in the oil.

SAGE-GARLIC BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until garlic is golden brown and butter is beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in sage.

THYME-ROASTED MARCONA ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the almonds, olive oil, thyme, and kosher salt on a sheet pan and toss them together. Roast the almonds for 10 to 15 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes with a metal spatula, until they're lightly browned. Watch them carefully; they go from under baked to burnt very quickly. Sprinkle with the fleur de sel, toss, and set aside to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BALSAMIC ROASTED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil and place them on a sheet pan. Roast them for 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their size, until a small sharp knife inserted in the middle indicates that they are tender. Unwrap each beet and set aside for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Peel the beets with a small, sharp knife over a piece of parchment paper to prevent staining your cutting board.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and set aside. While the beets are still warm, cut each one in half and then each half into 4 to 6 wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl. As you're cutting the beets, toss them with half of the vinaigrette (warm beets absorb more vinaigrette), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste for seasonings.
• Place the arugula in a separate bowl and toss it with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Put the arugula on a serving platter and then arrange the beets, almonds, and goat cheese on top. Drizzle with additional vinaigrette, if desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Place both squashes, celery root, yam, beet, turnip, parsnip, and shallots in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to combine.
• Evenly spread vegetables in a roasting pan or large rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to oven and roast until squash and parsnips are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove squash, celery root, yam, and parsnip from roasting pan and set aside on a platter; cover with parchment-paper-lined aluminum foil. Continue roasting beet and turnip 20 minutes more; transfer to platter and cover with foil.
• Place almonds on a baking sheet and toast until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Coarsely chop and transfer to a medium bowl with vinegar and brown butter; stir to combine.
• Uncover vegetables and drizzle with almond mixture. Garnish with reserved beet leaves and lemon zest.
