Provided by á-5050

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 package fresh Brussel Sprouts
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher Salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Start by slicing the ends off of each sprout and cutting them in half. Drizzle on about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, just enough to coat each sprout. Toss in a good-sized pinch of kosher salt and ground pepper. Gently stir the sprouts to coat them in oil, but be careful not to stir too vigorously as to break them apart. Turn the sprout out on to a cookie sheet lined with non-stick aluminum foil. Roast at 400°F for about 20 to 30 minutes, using a spatula to turn them half way through cooking. While they're roasting, add 1 tablespoon of butter to a small saucepan, followed by 1 tablespoon honey. Warm the honey butter on low heat until combined. Add 1/4 cup of chopped pecans to a small cookie sheet and roast them along with the sprouts for about 4 to 5 minutes until they are perfectly roasted. Remove the sprouts and pour on the honey butter and top with the pecans and gently toss.

From TOH magazine. Love Brussels sprouts and this is a way of making them even more special. Can substitute unsweetened apple juice for the wine if you prefer. These have a sweet taste to them so if you arn't a fan of that, probably not for you. But my family loved it

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH HONEY AND MISO



Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Honey and Miso image

Brussels sprouts roasted simply with oil, salt and pepper are absolutely delicious - but if you want something a little more interesting, add a spoonful of red miso, a powerhouse of salt and umami. Pair it with sweet honey to balance out the earthy bitterness of the brussels sprouts. A hit of lime juice after roasting perks everything up, and chopped almonds add a nice crunch. You can double or triple this recipe to feed a large crowd, or to ensure that there are leftovers.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Brussels Sprouts: Choose firm, deep green Brussels sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any with yellowing or wilted leaves.
  • Trim and Clean: Trim the stem end of each Brussels sprout and remove any damaged or discolored outer leaves. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
  • Halve or Quarter: Depending on their size, halve or quarter the Brussels sprouts. This helps them cook evenly and absorb the flavors better.
  • Roast at High Temperature: Roasting Brussels sprouts at a high temperature (400°F or above) caramelizes their natural sugars, resulting in a delicious and slightly crispy texture.
  • Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the Brussels sprouts from sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Toss with Oil and Seasonings: Before roasting, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika for extra flavor.
  • Roast until Tender-Crisp: Roast the Brussels sprouts for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp and slightly browned. For added crunch, roast them for a few minutes longer.
  • Add Pecans and Honey: After roasting, transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl and toss them with toasted pecans and a drizzle of honey. The sweetness of the honey and the nutty flavor of the pecans complement the roasted Brussels sprouts perfectly.
  • Serve Warm: Brussels sprouts with pecans and honey are best served warm, as a side dish or a healthy snack.

Brussels sprouts with pecans and honey is a delicious and nutritious dish that combines the flavors of roasted Brussels sprouts, toasted pecans, and sweet honey.
