Maple-Balsamic Roasted Shallots

5.0

(3)

2 Reviews

Shallots, with their delicate, sweet flavor, become meltingly tender in the oven and are coated in a delightfully aromatic balsamic butter glaze. This versatile recipe pairs well with just about anything, from roasted pork or chicken to seared steak. Try to find shallots that aren’t too large and are all roughly the same size, as they’ll cook more quickly and evenly.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add shallots; toss to coat. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the shallots start to brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Transfer to the oven. Roast, shaking the pan once or twice, until tender, 20 to 30 minutes, depending on size. Remove from the oven.
Whisk butter, 1 piece at a time, into the mixture in the hot skillet until a glossy sauce forms, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with parsley and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve hot.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
