A simple and flavorful side dish featuring roasted Brussels sprouts and leeks, tossed in a bright lemon-garlic dressing. Perfect for a weeknight meal or a holiday gathering.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts and leeks with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly browned, flipping halfway through.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the lemon-garlic dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup (if using), salt, and pepper.
Once the Brussels sprouts and leeks are roasted, transfer them to the large bowl. Pour the lemon-garlic dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat.
Serve immediately.

For extra crispy Brussels sprouts, don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute with honey or a pinch of sugar.
Add a sprinkle of toasted nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, for added crunch.

A classic British dessert featuring blackberries, whipped cream, yogurt, and crumbled shortbread for a delightful sweet and tart finish.
"A Blackberry Fool is a classic British dessert that's light, fruity, and subtly sweet, making it an ideal ending to the meal. The tartness of the blackberries cuts through the richness of the olive oil in the main course, and the creamy texture contrasts nicely with the roasted vegetables. The crumbled shortbread adds a buttery, crumbly element that complements both the fruit and the savory flavors."
