Roasted Vegetables with Pecan Gremolata

This vibrant vegetarian side dish brings a sophisticated twist to classic roasted vegetables. By combining earthy root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and turnips with nutty Brussels sprouts, the dish achieves a wonderful balance of natural sweetness and savoury depth. As the vegetables caramelise in the oven, they develop a rich, charred flavour that provides the perfect base for a bright, citrus-forward topping.

The standout feature is the homemade pecan gremolata, which adds a delightful crunch and zesty finish. Mixed with fresh parsley, lemon, and aged Parmesan, this topping elevates the textures and makes it a festive addition to a Sunday roast or a special vegetarian main. Packed with vitamins and heart-healthy fats from the nuts, it is as nutritious as it is delicious.
