1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp fine sea salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

For the glaze

2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated

For serving

1 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and lightly brush the rack with olive oil.
2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and grated ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
