Best 3 Brussels Sprouts With Gremolata Recipes

BALSAMIC-ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the Brussels sprouts on a sheet pan, including some of the loose leaves, which get crispy when they're roasted. Add the pancetta, olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, toss with your hands, and spread out in a single layer. Roast the Brussels sprouts for 20 to 30 minutes, until they're tender and nicely browned and the pancetta is cooked. Toss once during roasting. Remove from the oven, drizzle immediately with the balsamic vinegar, and toss again. Taste for seasonings, and serve hot.

SEARED AND ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH RED PEPPER AND MINT GREMOLATA

Steps:

• Trim brussels sprouts at the base, remove unattached leaves and set them aside. Cut in half and place in a large bowl. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet (cast iron is ideal). Add as many brussels sprout halves as will fit in a single layer, cut side down, and sear until nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet, cut side down, and repeat with remaining sprouts if you could not fit them all in during the first round. Place baking sheet in oven and roast until sprouts are tender, another 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in pan over medium heat and add red pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add roasted brussels sprouts to pan, stir together and add lemon zest, mint and freshly ground pepper. Heat through, taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from heat and serve.
• Optional garnish: After removing roasted brussels sprouts from oven turn heat down to 350 degrees and move rack to highest setting. Toss loose leaves you set aside with a little olive oil and salt and spread on baking sheet in a single layer. Roast on top shelf of oven for 15 minutes. Move to middle rack and roast another 2 to 3 minutes, until brown and crisp. Serve as garnish.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND MUSHROOMS WITH GREMOLATA AND QUINOA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets or baking dishes with parchment or foil and brush with olive oil. Place the Brussels sprouts on one and mushrooms on the other and toss each with salt and pepper to taste and 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil. Roast together in the oven, or 1 sheet at a time, for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. The Brussels sprouts should be browned on the edges and tender. The mushrooms should be soft and there should be juice on the baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together garlic, parsley and lemon zest (this is the gremolata).
• Tip mushrooms, with the juice in the baking dish, into a large bowl. Add Brussels sprouts and gremolata and toss together. Spoon quinoa onto plates or into wide bowls, top with the Brussels sprouts and mushrooms, spoon on any juice remaining in the bowl, top with crumbled feta or goat cheese if desired and serve.
