- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 lb. carrots peeled and chopped into 1" chunks
- 1 lb. parsnips peeled and chopped into 1" chunks
- 1 lb. Brussels sprouts halved
- 1.5 lb. sweet potatoes peeled and chopped into 1" chunks
- ½ cup olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
- ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes optional
- 1 cup arugula
- 1 cup spinach
- ½ cup fresh flat leaf parsley roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp. fresh mint chopped
- 3-4 stalks green onion chopped
- 5 oz. goat cheese crumbled
- 1 large pomegranate seeds removed (we are only using the whole seeds)
For the Balsamic Glaze
Pour 1 cup of balsamic vinegar into a saucepan and place on stovetop. Set burner to high.
Bring balsamic vinegar to a boil.
Once the vinegar is boiling, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 10 minutes. The mixture should reduce by ⅓ or ½ and it should also thicken into a glaze. It is done when it can coat the back of your spoon.
Set aside to cool.
For the Roasted Vegetables
While the balsamic vinegar is reducing, start the roasted vegetables.
Combine prepared carrots, parsnips, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Pour extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes on the vegetables. Mix thoroughly.
On 1 or 2 sheet pans fitted with a silicone mat (for easier clean-up!), spread the vegetables in an even layer.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for 25 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness. Set aside to cook slightly.
Assemble the Salad
Add arugula and spinach to a large serving bowl.
Toss in roasted vegetables.
Add parsley, mint, green onion, goat cheese, and pomegranate seeds. Toss the salad together.
Drizzle cooled balsamic reduction on top of the salad and serve.
