ingredients
- 4 duck breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound assorted vegetables (carrots, asparagus, bell peppers), cut into bite-sized pieces
steps
- 1.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2.
Score the skin of each duck breast in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- 3.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and thyme. Set aside.
- 4.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the duck breasts skin-side down and sear for about 6-8 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- 5.
Flip the duck breasts and pour the honey glaze over them. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 10-12 minutes (or until desired doneness).
- 6.
While the duck is roasting, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven alongside the duck for 15 minutes, or until tender.
- 7.
Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve alongside the roasted vegetables, drizzled with the remaining honey glaze.
