ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON, APPLES AND ONIONS, WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE



ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON, APPLES AND ONIONS, WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE image

Categories     Vegetable     Side

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb Brussels sprouts
6 slices bacon
1 T mustard seeds
1 medium onion, peeled, cut in crescents
1 tart crisp apple (I used a Granny Smith), peeled, cored, cut in crescents
3 T brown sugar
2 T balsamic vinegar
1/2 C dry white wine
1 T Dijon mustard
olive oil
salt, hot sauce to taste

Steps:

  • Trim the root ends of the sprouts, remove dried outer leaves and cut each sprout in half. Toss with a tablespoonful or so of olive oil and roast uncovered in a preheated 325º oven about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove when the sprouts are cooked through and starting to brown and char along the edges. Meanwhile, in a pan large enough to contain all the ingredients, sauté the bacon until just starting to crisp at the edges and remove to drain on paper towel. Pour all but 1 T of the bacon grease from the pan and discard. Add the mustard seeds to the pan and stir over medium high heat until they start to pop. Add the onions and apples, lower the heat to medium and sauté , stirring occasionally, until starting to turn soft, about 5 or 6 minutes. Stir in the sugar, wine and vinegar, raise the heat to medium high and cook, stirring, several minutes until the liquid is reduced to a syrup. Remove from heat and stir in the mustard. Chop the bacon and add it to the pan, then add the sprouts to the pan and stir and toss to combine. Correct seasoning. May be served immediately or at room temperature. Note: to make ahead, slightly undercook the sprouts so they will finish cooking when reheated.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, crisp Brussels sprouts: Avoid sprouts that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end and any outer leaves that are tough or damaged.
  • Roast the Brussels sprouts and apples in a single layer: This will help them to brown evenly.
  • Toss the Brussels sprouts and apples with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting: This will help them to develop a flavorful crust.
  • Roast the Brussels sprouts and apples for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned: Be sure to stir them halfway through roasting.
  • Serve the roasted Brussels sprouts and apples immediately: They are best enjoyed hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Roasted Brussels sprouts and apples are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They are easy to make and can be roasted in just 20-25 minutes. The Brussels sprouts and apples are tossed in olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting, which helps them to develop a flavorful crust. The roasted Brussels sprouts and apples can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
