Serves: 2, Difficulty: Moderate
Ingredients
- 2 bagels
- 150 grams of brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 150 grams of summer squash, diced
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
- 100 grams of boysenberry, fresh
- 2 tablespoons of apple pie spice
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Roast the Vegetables: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Toss brussels sprouts, summer squash, and diced tomatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet, and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Prepare the Bagels: While the vegetables are roasting, toast the bagels until they are golden and crispy.
- Make the Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and apple pie spice. Heat on a low flame until it slightly thickens, and the spices are well incorporated. This will take about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Boysenberry Compote: In a separate saucepan, combine the boysenberries with the lemon juice. Gently heat until the boysenberries are soft and the mixture has a thick, compote-like consistency. This will take about 10 minutes.
- Serve: Place one bagel on each plate. Top each with a generous helping of the roasted vegetables. Drizzle the maple and balsamic syrup over the vegetables. Finish by adding a spoonful of boysenberry compote on the side. Serve immediately and enjoy a delightful Canadian-inspired breakfast.
Tips
- For an extra crispy texture, you can broil the roasted vegetables for the last 3-4 minutes.
- Serve this breakfast with a hot cup of North American herbal tea for an even more delightful morning experience.
