Tips:

  • Choose the Right Brussel Sprouts: Select firm and vibrant green Brussel sprouts with tightly closed leaves.
  • Trim and Prepare: Trim the ends of the Brussel sprouts and remove any yellow or wilted leaves.
  • Blanching for a Vibrant Color: Blanch the Brussel sprouts in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to preserve their color.
  • Even Roasting: Cut the Brussel sprouts in half or quarters to ensure even roasting and caramelization.
  • Flavorful Seasoning: Toss the Brussel sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. For added flavor, consider sprinkling them with garlic powder, paprika, or dried herbs.
  • High Heat for Caramelization: Roast the Brussel sprouts at a high temperature (400°F or above) to achieve a nice caramelized exterior.
  • Watch the Cooking Time: Brussel sprouts should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking can make them mushy.
  • Add Pistachios at the End: To maintain their crunch, add the pistachios towards the end of the roasting process.

Conclusion:

Roasted Brussel sprouts with pistachios offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Their slightly bitter taste pairs well with the nutty sweetness of pistachios, while the caramelized exterior adds a touch of smokiness. This versatile dish can be served as a side dish or as a main course with the addition of protein.
