Instructions

Prep
1

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Trim and cut mushrooms into ¼-inch-thick slices (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Trim scallions; cut scallion whites into 1-inch pieces and thinly slice scallion greens. Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus; cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Zest and quarter lemon.

Roast Veggies
2

• Toss Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, and scallion whites on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack for 5 minutes (you'll add more to the sheet then). • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss asparagus with a drizzle of oil, remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper. • Once Brussels sprouts and mushrooms have roasted 5 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully arrange asparagus on top. Return to top rack and roast until veggies are browned and tender, 12-15 minutes more.

Cook Polenta
3

• While veggies roast, in a small pot, combine polenta and ⅓ cup water (1 cup for 4 servings) over medium heat. Mash with a potato masher until mostly smooth, 30-60 seconds. • Stir in half the Parmesan. • Whisk in cream cheese, sour cream, stock concentrates, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 3-4 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. TIP: If polenta seems too thick, stir in a splash of water.

Finish & Serve
4

• Once veggies are done roasting, sprinkle with lemon zest; toss to combine. (Be careful—baking sheet will be hot!) • Divide polenta between bowls (if necessary, briefly stir and rewarm polenta over medium heat before serving). Top with roasted veggies and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Top with remaining Parmesan, sunflower seeds, and scallion greens. Serve.
