For maximum caramelization, make sure the cut side of the Brussels sprouts are flush with the bottom of the baking dish. As the whole thing bakes, the salty pancetta fat will melt over the sprouts imparting luscious porky flavor as the pancetta itself turns crisp.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA & PEARL ONIONS



Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Pancetta & Pearl Onions image

Like many others I am not a fan of brussel sprouts, never made them, never even think of them as a possibility for a dinner vegetable. But this recipe changed my thinking! The dish was brought to Thanksgiving dinner and there was nothing left! The recipe serves 12, but I'm sure it can be easily halved. This is most definitely best when served immediately, but it was just great reheated in the microwave for about a minute and a half.
