GREMOLATA ROASTED NUGGETS AND BABY VEGETABLES

Ingredients

Serves 4 to 6
1½ lbs (750 g) yellow baby potatoes
2 tbsp (30 ml) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
¼ tsp (1 ml) each salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 orange, zest only
1 lemon, zest only
1 lime, zest only
2 garlic cloves, smashed and minced
¼ cup (60 ml) finely chopped flat leaf parsley
¼ cup (60 ml) finely chopped cilantro leaves
¼ lb (125 g) asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
6 baby yellow pattypan squash, halved
6 baby zucchini, trimmed
⅓ cup (75 ml) pine nuts, toasted flat leaf parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place potatoes in large bowl and drizzle with 1 tbsp (15 ml) oil, salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Spread out on parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer and bake in centre of oven for 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, to make gremolata, in a small bowl combine orange, lemon and lime zest, garlic, parsley and cilantro. Gently toss together with a fork. Set aside.
  4. When potatoes have baked for 10 minutes, remove and stir in vegetables, then return to oven to finish baking, about 5 to 8 more minutes. Stir occasionally until potatoes and vegetables are tender but still firm when pierced with a fork.
  5. Halve some of the larger potatoes, if you wish, and transfer all potatoes to a large serving dish. Drizzle with another 1 tbsp (15 ml) of olive oil. Sprinkle with half the gremolata and gently toss together to evenly blend. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
  6. Sprinkle remaining gremolata and toasted pine nuts over top. Garnish with flat leaf parsley and serve warm.
