Brussels Sprouts
I’m looking for a fantastic Brussels sprouts recipe! I’ve experimented with a few, and I have a simple skillet version that I enjoy, but I’m still on the hunt for that “restaurant-quality” dish. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Absolutely! For that “restaurant quality” touch, you might want to try roasting your Brussels sprouts for maximum flavor. Here’s a recipe you can try:
Ingredients:
– 1 ½ lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
– 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
– ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
– Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)
– ¼ cup toasted nuts (like pecans or walnuts) for crunch (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they’re well coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts evenly on a baking sheet, making sure they are not crowded (this helps them get crispy).
Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
While they roast, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey (if using). Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Once the Brussels sprouts are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle the balsamic glaze over them. Toss to coat properly.
If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes before serving. You can also add the toasted nuts for extra texture.
This method should give you a beautifully caramelized, flavorful dish that rivals any restaurant’s offering. Let me know how it turns out!
