Brussels sprouts, often overlooked in the vegetable kingdom, take center stage in this delightful recipe. Roasted to perfection, they transform into tender-crisp morsels with a slightly caramelized exterior, while shallots lend a subtle sweetness and a hint of oniony depth.

CRISPY ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND SHALLOTS
Slivered brussels sprouts and shallots caramelize, getting crisp and golden if you roast them at high heat. A dash of Worcestershire and a drizzle of lemon juice add just enough tang and acidity to round them out, without obscuring their natural sweetness. If you're not cooking for a crowd, feel free to halve the recipe and use one baking sheet. Serve these as a simple side dish to roast meats or fish, or use it to top a grain bowl, adding a fried or jammy egg for protein.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PICKLED SHALLOTS AND LABNEH
Pickled onions and labneh lend brightness to this brussels sprouts dish that's full of flavors and textures, making it a show-stopping addition to the Thanksgiving table. (But why limit yourself there?) This recipe calls for date syrup, available at Middle Eastern grocery stores or online, or pekmez, a type of molasses made from grapes (and sometimes other fruit) used in Turkish cooking. If you can't find either, use the same amount of maple syrup or honey. Some of the fruity and woody flavors will be missing, but these substitutes will provide much-needed sweetness to the rest of the dish.

Steps:
- Make the pickled shallots: In a small jar or bowl, mix the vinegar, sugar, black pepper and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Add the shallots and cover the jar with a lid or plastic wrap. Let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Prepare the brussels sprouts: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Trim the brussels sprouts, discarding any stalks or damaged leaves. Halve the sprouts lengthwise, and toss with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt to taste and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Spread them out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan. Roast for 22 to 30 minutes, until golden brown, slightly charred in some spots and a little crispy.
- As brussels sprouts cook, prepare the labneh: In a medium bowl, mix the labneh with the garlic and black pepper, then taste and season with salt.
- Spread the labneh on a serving dish or plate, and spoon the sprouts over. Drain and discard the liquid from the pickled shallots, and place them on top of the sprouts. Drizzle with the date syrup and 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm Brussels sprouts. Look for sprouts that are bright green and have tightly closed leaves.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts. Cut off the stem end and any wilted or discolored leaves.
- Halve or quarter the Brussels sprouts. This will help them cook evenly.
- Cook the Brussels sprouts in a hot skillet. This will help them brown and caramelize.
- Add shallots and cook until softened. Shallots add a sweet and savory flavor to the dish.
- Season the Brussels sprouts with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Cook the Brussels sprouts until they are tender. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve the Brussels sprouts hot. They can be served as a side dish or main course.
Conclusion:
Brussels sprouts with shallots is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The Brussels sprouts are roasted until tender and caramelized, and the shallots add a sweet and savory flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
