Looking for an easy side dish recipe using up all those delicious winter squash and Brussels sprouts? Try making Roasted Fall Vegetables served with a Smoked Paprika Aioli sauce. Perfect to add to your holiday table.
How do you roast fall vegetables?
Something about fall produce is so wholesome and comforting. During the colder months, I love making warm sheet pan recipes like seasonal roasted vegetables.
Fall vegetables like winter squash and Brussels sprouts are a bit more tough and need more time in the oven. In general, you want to cook these tougher vegetables for 25-30 minutes at a high temperature like 425 degrees.
Spread out your sheet pan vegetables
When you lay your vegetables on a baking sheet, make sure to spread them out so they have some space in between. Overcrowding them will give you steamed vegetables rather than roasted vegetables with the beautiful browned bits.
Use any vegetables you have on hand
You can customize this recipe to use any fall vegetables "of your choice". You can use 4 cups of the same vegetable, but I usually prefer using a mixture. Make sure to cut the vegetables into similar size pieces so they cook evenly. If you are serving a larger group, double the amount of vegetables.
Serve your roasted vegetables with smoked paprika aioli
Aioli is essentially a mayonnaise mixed with garlic and other additional flavorings.
In this recipe, I'm adding a touch of smoked paprika and pure maple syrup. This smoked paprika aioli is lightened up by using a mixture of light mayonnaise and plain Greek yogurt. Light mayonnaise has 60% fewer calories and plain Greek yogurt packs in lean protein. I like to use Greek yogurt in everything from sauces to parfaits to frozen yogurt bark.
The maple flavors and seasonal produce featured in this dish makes it perfect to add to your holiday table. This easy side dish also pairs well with quinoa cakes, grilled meats or tofu, burgers, and salmon.
