Ingredients

Roasted Artichokes

  • 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Sautéed Vegetables and Beans

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt, divided
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14 ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups shredded Brussels sprouts
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the artichokes.
  2. Prepare Artichokes: Pat the artichoke hearts dry using a paper towel to remove excess moisture for better roasting.
  3. Toss Artichokes: In a mixing bowl, toss the artichoke hearts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. Roast Artichokes: Arrange the artichokes cut side down in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until golden and slightly crisp on the edges.
  5. Add Parmesan and Continue Roasting: Remove the baking sheet, flip the artichokes over, sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese evenly on top, then return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
  6. Sauté Shallots and Garlic: While the artichokes roast, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced shallots and minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Cook Brussels Sprouts and Beans: Add the shredded Brussels sprouts to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then stir in the drained white beans and sauté for another minute until heated through.
  8. Combine and Toss Salad: Transfer the sautéed Brussels sprouts, beans, and the roasted artichokes into a large bowl or serving plate. Gently toss everything together to mix flavors.
  9. Dress and Serve: Drizzle the freshly squeezed lemon juice over the salad, give a gentle toss, and serve immediately to enjoy the bright, fresh flavors.

Notes

  • Make sure to pat the artichoke hearts dry before roasting to avoid sogginess and promote crispiness.
  • You can substitute Parmesan cheese with a vegan alternative if you prefer a dairy-free option.
  • For an extra crunch, add some toasted pine nuts or walnuts to the salad.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or lemon juice as desired.
