02 - 1 pound Brussels sprouts, cleaned and sliced thin
03 - 1 big shallot, cut into rings
04 - 2-3 tbsp plant oil
05 - Sea salt
06 - Ground black pepper
07 - 2 cups dinosaur kale, ribs taken out and chopped
08 - 1 1/2 cups green soybeans, warmed up
09 - 1/4 cup snipped fresh chives

→ Citrus Pepper Sauce

10 - 1 clove garlic, grated finely
11 - 1 tbsp light wine vinegar
12 - 1 1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
13 - 1/2 tsp red pepper bits (if you want)
14 - 1/4 tsp ground white pepper
15 - 1 tsp spicy brown mustard
16 - 1 lemon, rind grated and squeezed
17 - 1/2 tsp sea salt
18 - 2-3 tsp tree syrup
19 - 3 tbsp unheated olive oil

# Instructions:

01 - Get your oven hot at 425°F (220°C) and put parchment on two cookie sheets.
02 - Fill a big pot with salty water and let it bubble. Toss in potatoes and cook about 10 mins till they're soft when poked.
03 - Drain water and put potatoes on a tray. Gently squish each one with a cup bottom or fork, keeping them spaced out. Pour 1 1/2 tbsp plant oil over them and add lots of salt and pepper.
04 - Put potatoes in the oven's bottom section for 20 mins. Flip them and cook another 10-15 mins till they're brown and crunchy on the edges.
05 - On your other tray, lay out the Brussels sprouts and shallots. Add salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp plant oil, then mix everything around. Cook on the middle rack for 15 mins.
06 - Throw your chopped kale onto the sprouts tray and stir it all with tongs. Cook 5 more mins until the kale gets soft.
07 - While stuff cooks, dump garlic, vinegar, both peppers, hot flakes, mustard, lemon bits and juice, salt, tree syrup, and oil in a jar. Shake hard till it's smooth and mixed. Taste and tweak if needed.
08 - Put the crunchy potatoes on the tray with the sprouts and kale. Add the green soybeans, chives, and a third of your sauce. Toss till it's all mixed up.
09 - Scoop the mix into bowls and pour more sauce on top if you want.

# Notes:

01 - Squish potatoes just enough to make flat areas for browning while keeping them whole.
02 - Make sure your veggies aren't crowded on the trays so they'll get nice and brown.
