Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before roasting.

You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the mix.

If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can reduce balsamic vinegar in a saucepan until it thickens into a glaze.

"The peppery bite of the watercress provides a refreshing counterpoint to the roasted vegetables, while the sweetness of the pear echoes the cherry tomatoes. Candied walnuts offer a textural contrast and subtle sweetness that complements the balsamic glaze without overpowering the palate."
