Ingredients

  • 2 small orange bell peppers, halved and seeded

  • 5 medium carrots, trimmed, scrubbed, and halved

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 1 navel orange, peel and pith removed, sliced

  • 1 clementine, peel and pith removed, sliced

  • 1/4 cup fresh goat cheese, crumbled

  • 1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

Directions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Prepare Vegetables: Toss the orange bell peppers and carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
  • Roast Vegetables: Roast for 25-30 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Prepare Citrus and Hazelnuts: While the veggies are roasting, slice the orange and clementine. Toast the hazelnuts in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Assemble the Dish: Arrange the roasted peppers and carrots on a serving platter. Top with the orange and clementine slices, goat cheese crumbles, and toasted hazelnuts. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil and the sherry vinegar.
