Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup chopped hazelnuts
3 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 cup dried cranberries
ΒΌ cup grated Pecorino-Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until coated. Transfer coated sprouts to a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until sprouts are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Cook and stir hazelnuts in a skillet over medium-low heat until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer hazelnuts to a bowl.
  • Cook and stir bacon in the same skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Add maple syrup and rosemary; cook, stirring often, until the bacon drippings and maple syrup begin to thicken and stick to the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine cooked Brussels sprouts and bacon mixture together in a large bowl; toss until sprouts are coated with maple syrup sauce. Sprinkle in hazelnuts, cranberries, and Pecorino-Romano cheese; toss well. This dish is best served warm.

This salad is missing something. I think it needs a bit of acidity, maybe a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of vinegar.

The Brussels sprouts in this salad were a bit tough. I think I'll try roasting them for a shorter amount of time next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of maple syrup in the dressing next time.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover Brussels sprouts. I always have a few extra after Thanksgiving dinner, and this is a delicious way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of Brussels sprouts, but I really enjoyed this salad. The roasting process brings out their natural sweetness.

This salad is easy to make and can be served warm or cold. I like to make it ahead of time and then reheat it before serving.
