Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 300 grams Carrots
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 orange Zest of an orange

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Peel and slice the carrots into sticks or rounds of similar size to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Place the Brussels sprouts and carrots in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with half the salt and pepper. Toss well to coat.

Step 4

Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until tender and golden brown.

Step 5

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the citrus glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, honey, garlic, the remaining olive oil, and orange zest.

Step 6

Once the vegetables are done roasting, transfer them to a large serving bowl. Pour the citrus glaze over the top and gently toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Serve immediately for a bright, delicious side dish.
