Best 3 Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Red Pepper Flakes Recipes

BRUSSELS SPROUTS, ROASTED RED PEPPERS AND RICE

Steps:

• Combine the rice and stock in a heavy-bottomed pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook rice a total of 17 minutes, until liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender.
• Chop the whole onion. Heat a nonstick pan large enough to hold the remaining ingredients until it is very hot. Reduce heat to medium-high and add oil. Saute the onion until it begins to soften and brown.
• Wash, trim and quarter brussels sprouts; add to the onion; reduce heat to low, then cover and cook for about 5 minutes, until the sprouts are tender but still firm and green.
• Meanwhile, rinse and julienne the red peppers. Stir into the vegetable mixture along with the hot red-pepper flakes.
• When rice is cooked, stir into vegetables and season with salt.

SEARED AND ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH RED PEPPER AND MINT GREMOLATA

Steps:

• Trim brussels sprouts at the base, remove unattached leaves and set them aside. Cut in half and place in a large bowl. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet (cast iron is ideal). Add as many brussels sprout halves as will fit in a single layer, cut side down, and sear until nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet, cut side down, and repeat with remaining sprouts if you could not fit them all in during the first round. Place baking sheet in oven and roast until sprouts are tender, another 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in pan over medium heat and add red pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add roasted brussels sprouts to pan, stir together and add lemon zest, mint and freshly ground pepper. Heat through, taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from heat and serve.
• Optional garnish: After removing roasted brussels sprouts from oven turn heat down to 350 degrees and move rack to highest setting. Toss loose leaves you set aside with a little olive oil and salt and spread on baking sheet in a single layer. Roast on top shelf of oven for 15 minutes. Move to middle rack and roast another 2 to 3 minutes, until brown and crisp. Serve as garnish.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400. Trim the ends of the brussels sprouts, and remove all yellowing exterior leaves. Put the sprouts in a large bowl, and toss with the oil or bacon fat, and season well with salt and pepper.
• Pour the sprouts onto a sheet pan and roast in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to brown the vegetables evenly, until crisp on the outside and tender within. Sprinkle a little more salt on them and, if you like, red-pepper flakes.
