A vibrant and flavorful salad featuring roasted beetroot and Brussels sprouts, topped with a tangy balsamic glaze and crunchy walnuts.
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the beetroot and Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme (if using).
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the beetroot is tender and the Brussels sprouts are slightly browned and crispy, flipping halfway through.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and Dijon mustard.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the vegetables. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

For a sweeter glaze, add a little more honey or maple syrup.
Add a sprinkle of goat cheese or feta cheese for extra flavor (not vegan).
Other nuts such as pecans or almonds can be substituted for walnuts.
For easier cleanup, you can roast the vegetables in separate baking sheets to prevent the beetroot from staining the sprouts.
