THE BEST ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS



The Best Roasted Brussels Sprouts image

Olive oil, salt and pepper let the earthy flavor of the sprouts shine as they get crisp and golden in the oven. Heating the pan and laying the veggies flat-side down is the secret to achieving maximum browning -- and don't toss the loose leaves that fall off during trimming. They become toasted and crisp -- the best part! To make these extra special, we topped them with homemade Parmesan breadcrumbs.

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 slices crusty, bakery-style white bread (about 5 ounces)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Cut the bread into large cubes. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until uniformly chopped (the pieces of bread should be slightly smaller than a peppercorn; you should have about 2 cups).
  • Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the melted butter, Parmesan, a pinch of salt and few grinds of black pepper. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crisp, stirring halfway through, about 14 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack to cool.
  • Meanwhile, place another rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
  • Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, remove any tough or bruised outer leaves and cut each in half lengthwise. Toss the Brussels sprouts, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl.
  • Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and add the Brussels sprouts, cut-side down, in an even layer. Roast until well browned and tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving platter and top with the Parmesan breadcrumbs.

SCHMALTZ-ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Schmaltz-Roasted Brussels Sprouts image

Roasting brussels sprouts in schmaltz - rendered poultry fat -gives them an incredibly nutty richness that you can't get from any other fat. If you are making the schmaltz from scratch for this recipe (and you should if you want the gribenes), do use the onion, which lends an incomparable browned sweetness to the mix. The gribenes, which are the crispy bits of chicken skin that fry in the rendered fat, make an excellent garnish. (They may be strained out of store-bought schmaltz; if you don't have them, just omit them here.) This recipe goes particularly well with a nice roasted chicken, whose flavor underscores the schmaltz.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Roasted Brussels Sprouts image

This recipe is from my mother. It may sound strange, but these are really good and very easy to make. The Brussels sprouts should be brown with a bit of black on the outside when done. Any leftovers can be reheated or even just eaten cold from the fridge. I don't know how, but they taste sweet and salty at the same time!

SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Sautéed Brussels Sprouts image

This is sort of a no-recipe recipe for brussels sprouts that will have you wanting to make them every day of the week. Once you memorize the proportions, you can vary the fat and seasonings any which way you like. One important tip: Having a large enough skillet is key, so the sprouts have a chance to brown on one side before steaming and turning to mush.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, vegetables, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
3 to 4 tablespoons fat (olive oil, schmaltz, duck fat or the fat rendered from 8 ounces of bacon, sausage or chorizo)
A handful of aromatics, like chopped garlic, sliced onion, thyme sprigs or dried chiles
Lemon juice, vinegar, pickled onions or shallots
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro or mint (optional)

Steps:

  • If using something like bacon or sausage, start by browning the meat in a large skillet (10 to 12 inches) over medium-high heat to render the fat. Once the meat is cooked, remove it with a slotted spoon, leaving behind the drippings. (You can add the crispy meat bits back later.)
  • Add halved brussels sprouts to the fat, shaking the skillet so that as many as possible land cut side down. Now, don't touch! Disturbing the skillet at this point would prevent the sprouts from caramelizing. Cook until they have a nice sear on one side, 5 to 8 minutes. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, give them a stir and continue to cook until they're nicely browned all over and just tender on the inside, another 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Just before removing from the heat, add in a handful of aromatics, like chopped garlic, sliced onion, thyme sprigs or dried chiles, tossing to coat and cooking only a minute or two. Stir in the reserved bacon or sausage bits, if using.
  • Finish with either a squeeze of halved lemon, a splash of nice vinegar or a handful of pickled onions or shallots. Because of the sprouts' meaty flavor profile, it's also nice to hit them with a smattering of fresh herbs, especially parsley, cilantro or mint. Salt and pepper to taste.

CRISPY ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND SHALLOTS



Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Shallots image

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.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed and sliced 1/4-inch thick
3 shallots, sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
8 thyme sprigs
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, plus more to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon), plus more to taste
Grated Parmesan, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss together brussels sprouts, shallots, olive oil and salt. Evenly divide brussels sprouts mixture between two rimmed 13-by-18-inch baking sheets, spreading everything into one layer. Top with thyme sprigs.
  • Roast, stirring once, until brussels sprouts and shallots are tender, golden and lightly charred in spots, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together garlic, Worcestershire and lemon juice.
  • As soon as brussels sprouts emerge from oven, immediately drizzle with Worcestershire dressing, tossing to combine. Taste and add more salt, lemon juice, or Worcestershire if needed. Top with grated Parmesan if you like and serve immediately.

  • Toss the Brussels sprouts with schmaltz: Schmaltz adds a rich, savory flavor to the Brussels sprouts.
  • Season the Brussels sprouts with salt and pepper: This will help enhance their natural flavor.
  • Roast the Brussels sprouts until they are tender: The Brussels sprouts should be tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately: Roasted Brussels sprouts are best served hot out of the oven.
